So another Spanish lady in red being reviewed this week. Having been lucky enough to manage two seats at a "meet the winemaker" lunch in Dublin this week. Now we did managed to taste a few wines we don't intend buying again until we have real wages! Besides the point, the wine in question was a kind parting gift to all who attended the meal. Now, as it goes, freebies are never freebies, there's always some sort of catch. Here, in this case with a room full of 50-60 people you'd expected that the wine wouldn't be up to much. Rather the opposite actually! This wine was in fact something completely different altogether. A better kind of freebie, a show off freebie.
The star of the show was an entry level wine from Mr Palacios' Priorat vineyards. What is this wonderful concoction? 50% Somsó, 40% Garnacha (Grenache to you and me), 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Really it's a good slap of whatever you like.
