Pago Los Balancines Ribera del Guadiana Los Balancines Huno

Dense, ruby red. Black berries, spice, tobaco. Complex and dense. Bordeaux like wine.

Drinks like a liquefied chunk of high quality chocolate with a dash of kirsch. Attractive, clean, moreish. Individual and interesting.

Very fruit forward, sweetness that makes its strong alcohol more approachable. Reminds me a little of a Ripasso. Can be drunk now, doubt there will be much happening through cellaring. Liked it, but a bit overrated and overpriced in my opinion.

Rich nose with dried fruits, tobacco, licorice. Taste is full bodied, with sweet fruit, long and decent complexity, nice with rich food. Drink now and until 2019.

Wines from Spain (Athens Hilton Hotel) : This seemed to me as overevolved at first, but after sometime in the glass it was rejuvenated in a sence, revealing aromas of dark chocolate, coffee bean, dark cherries, flowers and sweet spices. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, balancing acidity and a long aftertaste. Drink sooner than later.
