Winery - Coto de Hayas
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Roasted and creamy on the nose, with only modest fruit notes. Very sweet and thick across the tongue, with a sugary berry profile. With chocolate and carob coming on late, this wine plays up the oak element.

Spunky raspberry aromas give this Tempranillo-led blend a fresh bouquet. The palate is snappy, a little high in acidity, and plenty zippy, with plum and cherry flavors. Finishes with length and some scour. Nice for everyday drinking; best with basic foods.

Simple at best early on, with leathery, rustic aromas and a truly basic set of flavors. Should you allow it to breathe, it rounds into a good (but still basic), semisoft and fruity red with solid cherry/berry flavors and nothing offputting.

Austere, green aromas are about as much as one can pull from the nose, while the palate is fresh and acidic, but lean. Flavors of lime, citrus and pith are zesty at first but pithy later on. Dull and strained, but not bad for Chardonnay from central Spain.

At 85% Tempranillo, it could be labeled as such. Regardless, look for a bouquet of fat black fruit and touches of earth and smoke. Flavors of plum and blackberry are warm and full, while both the back end and overall impression are positive and lusty.

This old-vines Garnacha has all the earmarks of a young wine. It’s ripe and sweet at all checkpoints. The bouquet indicates power to come, while the palate throbs with sweet, candied fruit. Even the finish is like a dessert. Very jammy and forward.

There’s nothing wrong with this value-priced blend of Grenache, Tempranillo, Syrah and Cabernet. Yes, it’s probably on the generic side of the fence; but given that the berry and cherry flavors are forward, clean and bright, one shouldn’t complain. Snappy, with just a hint of coconut and mocha on the finish.

Flowery on the nose, but very gentle in terms of flavors. There’s some apple and citrus, but not all that much. And the mouthfeel is flat, almost flabby. Could stand a boost in acidity to liven things up.

Red in color and pretty clean on the nose, where raspberry and rose petal essence come together. The palate is acidic and tight, with tangy watermelon and peach flavors carrying the cleansing finish. Juicy to the extreme, but a good partner for food.

Racy and juicy, with forward strawberry, raspberry and leather aromas followed by a zesty, bold mouthful of plum fruit and black pepper. Long and deep for a youngster, with warmth and spice.
