El Bombero Grenache Blend 11'



Naked Wine Review 101
Wine: Grenache Blend
Producer: El Bombero
Vintage: 11'
Region: Spain>Aragon>Carinena
Price: 14.00
Date tasted: 7/13/12
Place tasted: I couldn't tell you as I was blindfolded and driven there, but I can express that an incredible view of something from somewhere held my attention captive for hours. It was an interesting evening, spent drinking wine in the charming company of the worlds greatest secret agent. That's pretty much all they'll let me tell you.
Served with: It's one of those reds that is so delicate and floral that it goes well with more subtle/light flavors. White sauces; chicken; duck; even salmon would be nice with it. Avoid spicy, strong, or highly acidic foods with this one. Try it with chicken al a king, it works. 
Appearance: An inspired elegant purple with neon fuchsia refractions. She's a stunning beauty.  
On the snoot: Brilliant floral perfume, strong in rose and violets; focused through a dense oaky fog.  
Taste: Rose, violet, and oak combine in such a perfect unity that any other flavors would obfuscate the radiance in her simplicity. Cushy tannins throughout gently guide the palate through a long satisfying finish.
Balance: Viscous, yet so dry, light, and graceful that she kind of levitates.
Comments: Her naked beauty sings in hypnotic harmony to your inner serenity. She's unique and outstanding.
May many happy blessings grace the world of...um...that secret agent, for sharing this delightful bottle of wine with me. 
Cin Cin!
Rating: 4 immaculate tipsys, excellent value
