Bodegas Borsao Tres Picos 2018
Verkostungsnotiz James Suckling vom 06.02.2021:A lightly jammy garnacha, offering plenty of fruit with some chocolate. It’s full-bodied with some firmness. Nicely layered with a lightly smoky undertone. Drink now.
Luis Gutierrez verkostet den Wein am 30.04.2020 wie folgt: I tasted two vintages from the flagship oaked Garnacha, the youngest of which was the 2018 Tres Picos Garnacha. But unfortunately, I found both vintages (this and the warmer 2017) to be overtly oaky, with aromas that masked the personality of the grape and gave them an international profile of toast, spice and smoke and a palate with similar flavors plus a bitter twist in the finish. I'd much rather drink the young unoaked Borsao Tinto Selección than this one. The technical data mentions that it spent about six months in new French oak and has 15% alcohol. 200,000 bottles.
Josh Raynolds im Februar 2021: Bright violet. Oak-spiced dark berries, licorice and mocha on the nose; a smoky nuance emerges with air. Broad, sweet and well-concentrated, offering cherry-vanilla, cola and blackberry flavors that show no rough edges. Closes with repeating oak-spice character and strong tenacity and supple tannins lending grip. There's a lot of oak here but there's plenty of fruit as well.
Fakten zum Wein:
Der Bodegas Borsao Tres Picos 2018 bekommt satte 20 - 25 Tage Mazerationszeit. um noch die feinsten Aromen herauszuarbeiten. Nach abgeschlossener Fermentation geht es für 5 Monate in neue französische. speziell bordelaiser. Eiche. Die Reben entstammen einem in den Bergen hoch gelegenen. alten Garnachaweinberg. und bringen bedingt durch ihr Alter nur recht geringe Erträge. Die Intensität. die Qualität und das einstimmige Urteil der Weinwelt nach Degustation machen diesen Wein im Preis/Genuss-Verhältniss zu einem der Besten der Welt.
