Review:"There’s a lot more in the bottle of the 2012 Jardin de Luculo, which is pure Garnacha from 30-year-old vineyards fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts and aged six months in used barrels. Here the nose shows much more complexity, notes of sweet cherries, red licorice and hints of sweet spices. The palate is medium-bodied, quite dry and the flavors denote some very ripe fruit underneath. The slightly drying finish should go almost unnoticed with lamb chops, rather than drunk on its own. It’s approachable now, but it should develop in bottle. Drink 2014-2018."
My Review: This wine had a strong cherry smell to it and also had slight things of tobacco and rubber. The taste of this wine was very tart and smooth. I could taste hints of cherry as well as other berries, including strawberry. I did not try this wine with food.
