SPANISH KISSCariñena Beso de Vino Macabeo 2009 2009 12.5% €9.99
From the ancient kingdom of Aragon in Spain, comes a white wine that offers you a fresh and fruity kiss (Beso). This bullish little number is out to impress and I like it! Chances are you will too.
Colour: Pale yellow, with greenish hues.
Nose: White fruits
Palate: Fruity and fresh, mainly melon and citrus. Very smooth and pleasant with a good balance and a decent long finish.
These are my amateur notes above, now for the professional view.
These are Jay Miller’s Tasting notes: "There is one white wine, the 2009 Beso de Vino Macabeo, aged in stainless steel. It gives up aromas of mineral and citrus, particularly fresh lime. This is followed by an intense, savory, and balanced offering that will provide pleasure over the next 12-18 months. Grandes Vinos y Vinedos' collection is replete with stunning values".
Miller was tasting it for THE WINE ADVOCATE ROBERT PARKER and he awarded it 88 points. Great value at €9.99!
