esbrown reviewed Ramirez de Ganuza Rioja Garnacha Reserva 2001 on April 6, 2006 Beautiful and dark in color, with almost blank and inky depths. Giant and expressive on the nose, with espresso raost, prunes, fresh black fruits, tar and tons of spices. The palate starts with a bevy of ripe black fruits, and then simmers into what is as close to a pot roast that I have tasted from anything other than pot roast. Seriously. Black cherries, meat, butter, spices, espresso and intense grape tannins. Wow, if it is this good now, what will it be like in ten years? |
