Tasting notes
I was surprised by the balsamic, minty, hinting-on-eucalyptus nose of the 2015 Tres Picos Garnacha to the point that I thought I was smelling the Syrah Zarihs. But no, this is a ripe and heady Garnacha aged in French oak barrels for five months. There are intense roasted aromas and a rich, meaty palate with herbal and smoky flavors, a bit heady, reminiscent of the nose. A very showy Tres Picos. 384,000 bottles produced.

(fermented in small stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels, followed by 10 months of aging in French oak) Opaque ruby. Powerful aromas of black currant and candied cherry pick up incense, vanilla and exotic spice nuances with air. Deeply concentrated dark berry and spicecake flavors are complicated by notes of smoky minerals and floral pastilles, while a subtle peppery quality adds spiciness. Supple tannins give shape to the very long, smoke-tinged finish, where the floral note echoes strongly.
