Review for Casa Balaguer 2005

    Nice deep red color to this wine. Wound up tight in a veil of dusty minerals the fruit in this wine at first stay's hidden and elusive. Slate and a sour raspberry quality slowly emerges, with time I want to see where this heads. In the mouth a strong acidity and a lush mouth coating quality are there with chocolaty tannins, soft yet firm at the same time. I love the way this wine is gentle and yet strong full of character, restrained like a dinner guest who has yet to given their opinion of the meal. Raspberry and hints of cassia and with light wood, smoke and delicate touches of pepper and green herbs. Worth checking out, and I'll add to this as it opens.
