Wine Hugas de Batlle

Falguera

2012
dry red

Cariñena (60%), Garnacha Negra (40%) varietals.
Aged in French oak for 14 months.

A very solid local offering. Cherry, blueberry and warm caramel cream on the nose. Sour red cherry, barberry, prunes on the palate. Finish falls a bit short, but it is very balanced, smooth and pleasing otherwise. The price tag is slightly disappointing as it feels a bit excessive for what you get.
