Pagos de Familias. Der ›
El Rincón Tinto 2007‹ wurde dort mit 91/100 Punkten bewertet. Über den Wein aus der spanischen
D.O. Vinos de Madrid schreibt der Autor nachfolgend im Original:
„The ›2007 El Rincón‹ is a blend of 95 %
Syrah and 5 %
Garnacha from the Aldea del Fresno and El Rincón vineyards. It has an ebullient bouquet of macerated dark cherries, soy and creme de cassis that carry the oak extremely well. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannins. It is very refined and focused with a lilting, fresh finish of strawberry and red cherries. Drink now-2018. Marques de Grinon is sourced from the heralded 50-hectare Dominio de Valdepusa estate that is said to have the same topsoil as Burgundy. Every top consultant seems to have consulted here since 1990, including Michel Rolland, Claude Bouguignon, Dr. Richard Smart and Emile Peynaud. However, it is Carlos Falco, the man who has been instrumental in modernizing the region’s viticulture and introducing Bordeaux varieties, who is at the heart of the estate. I found the wines to be intermittently outstanding, though to be frank, I discerned negligible differences in quality between the entry-level wines and the expensive top cuvees.”
