Loma Gorda 06 - 90 points Int. Wine Cellar
August 19th, 2008
A mediados de Julio, nuestro importador en Estados Unidos, Grapes of Spain, nos remitió las nuevas puntuaciones de International Wine Cellar – Stephen Tanzer. Higueruela 07 continua estando muy bien valorado con 88+ (los anteriores años ha obtenido 88) y Loma Gorda 06, nuestro vino comercializado en EEUU con un coupage muy similar al Tintoralba Roble, ha obtenido 90 puntos, una puntuación excepcional para este nuevo vino de Tintoralba.
In mid July, our American importer, Grapes of Spain, assigned the new reviews of Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar. Higueruela 07 is still very well scored with a 88+ ( cored in the past years at 88) and Loma Gorda 06, the wine we commercialize in the US with a coupage similar to the Tintoralba Roble’s one, scored 90 points, that is to say an exceptional mark for this brand-new Tintoralba wine.
2007 Bodegas Santa Quiteria Higueruela Almansa 88+?
($10; 88% garnacha and 12% syrah) Inky ruby. Youthfully brooding dark berry aromas are initially primary but open to show a dusty floral and mineral character. Chewy blackberry and cassis flavors are firmed by slightly hard-edged tannins. Leaves black tea and licorice flavors behind. Is the average $10 buyer ready for such a serious style? And is the experienced buyer willing to trade down to this price point? The garnacha vines for this wine are reportedly 60 to 70 years old.
2006 Bodegas Santa Quiteria Loma Gorda Almansa 90
($12; 65% garnacha and 35% syrah) Dark purple. Cassis and dark cherry on the nose, with smoked meat and black cardamom adding depth and a serious mien. A weighty, structured blend with sweet dark berry compote flavors and supple tannins adding support. Surprisingly lively on the finish, which repeats the dark berry qualities and leaves a zesty, peppery note behind. This is an outstanding value but needs some air to show its best.
