Ignios Orígenes Listán Negro

No fue su día. Muy subido de notas animales con una boca extraña, recorrido poco fluido a pesar de su finura. Creo que fue la botella.

Dark purple red. Nose is a slightly stinky burst of ripe black cherry, something like mulberries?, volcanic earth, and lurking VA. I didn't do any research but this just screams volcano to me so I hope it's relevant here (although I feel somewhat confident given what appears to be a block of basalt on the label!). Lush and juicy in the mouth, fruit and earth colliding in a distinctively spicy wash, with slightly bitter notes on the finish. Tannins not …

Not the listed wine, but the 'Artifice' Tinto of the same producer for which CT has no database. Anyhow, those running low on mediocre Beaujolais could substitute this and never know the difference. Would go well with whatever suits rhubarb juice.

Light ruby in color. (think pinot, gamay) Soft florals, light red fruits, strawberry hard candy, but also some reductive syrah like notes of white pepper, barnyard, green olives. Tart, med- body, high acid, thin finish. Light, beaujolais like gamay flavors, some of those syrah like notes come through on the palate also. bright red fruits, florals. Nice food wine, interesting for sure. Nice QPR and just something interesting and different.
