2023 S. C. Pannell Basso Garnacha

Juicy and bright with muscular tannins and an edgy finish.

Deep dark red core with black toned edges and a vibrant red hue. Freshly crushed dark raspberry and red liquorice aromas carry a graphite like overlay with dried herb and vanillin spice notes also chiming in. Juicy raspberry and liquorice fruits are underscored by energetic acidity with notions of earthy graphite, vanillin spice and crushed rock the undercard. Muscular tannins imparting some grip across the bright, edgy finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews……
Aromas of Jolly Ranchers, raspberry confit, blackcurrants, blood oranges, graphite and potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with a plush mouthfeel, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity, showing flavors of dark cherries, cola and dark chocolate. Well-balanced and fresh with a floral undertone. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
