A STUNNING WINE
NO STING IN THE PRICE
Beso de Vino Seleccion 2009 Cariñena Spain Syrah (85%) and Garnacha, 13.5% ABV, €9.99 Stockists....
You taste this wine and then you think you paid just 9.99 for it. You almost doubt it. Incredible but true. Awarded, and rightly so, 90 points by Jay Miller for the Wine Advocate Robert Palmer, you can pick this up for under a tenner.
The colour is a fresh and clean garnet and the coffee/chocolate nose is even more evident here than in our recent Barista. Coffee/chocolate traces also on the palate, though unobtrusively so. Here the main flavours are cherry and blueberry and a nice slash of spice with tannins enough to balance and give a terrific all round finish. All in all a fantastic wine and, once again, at a fantastic price.
Try it. You might like it, might well have an experience like Antonio the Bull (pictured on the label): “I'm a Bull, I suppose you'd guessed that, male, I suppose you'd noticed that too, and Spanish. I'm young, sociable, carefree, modern, likeable, friendly to everyone, casual, adventurous, generous, sensitive and ecological. I like trying new things, travelling and eating. I haven't got a clue about wine, but I fell in love with BESO DE VINO the first time I drank it.”
Lot of bull there (could be handy for a Rose of Tralee contestant) but I can sympathise with the sentiments of the last line!
