Tasting-Vina Borgia Borsao Grenache(red)-

Name: Vina Borgia Borsao
Variety: Grenache
Region: Campo de Borja
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review: 86 Points – Robert Parker. Also made from 100% Grenache, the 2012 Vina Borgia was fermented and aged in stainless steel. Its medium dark ruby color is followed by abundant notes of strawberries and black cherries offered in a straightforward, medium-bodied, soft, hedonistic, round style. It is hard to believe a wine this good can sell for $7 a bottle. Enjoy it over the next 1-2 years.



My review: Sweet berries dipped in wood varnish. I literally choked when I tried to take a sip. Ow my face. The back of my throat is now sandpaper. This isn’t a taste, it’s an assault on my mouth as if I've done something to personally offend it.

CONCLUSION: Wouldn’t drink if you paid me.


Not tasted with food
