anima negra An red blend (vi de la terra illes balears)

點擊次數(shù)：2771

Baked, earthy and leathery, just like all the AN wines. But there’s also a smooth intersection of the old and new worlds here; it’s one part rooty, oaky and rich but also dry, leathery and indigenous to the Balearics (the base grape is Callet). Finishes a little sweet and warm, and thus it’s begging to be drunk now. ——M.S.(12/15/2010)—— 89

Mature, classy and different than most, with earth, tobacco, warm fruit, baked notes and subtlety to the bouquet. The palate is whole, welcoming and full of baked plum, spice, molasses and leathery, and then it finish long and complex, but a little sweet and rooty. A winner from Mallorca for those seeking something different. Drink now. ——M.S.(12/15/2010)—— 91

Overall this Callet-led blend might exceed its more oaked, richer brother known as Son Negre. An has a rooty, oak-driven nose with hints of herbs and tobacco, while the palate is dark and tasty, with blackberry, cherry and cured meat flavors. Finishes with pepper and a lash of leftover oak that hopefully will disappear as the wine ages. Drink now through 2012.——M.S.(2/1/2008)—— 89
