I've not scored these simply because that's how I noted them at the time. This is a range sent to a friend of mine at the request of another friend of mine without the knowledge of the first friend. So when they arrived, no one had any idea what they were. As far as I know, they are unrepresented in the UK. That may have been why they were sent.
Sisquella 2010
Garnacha Blanca & Moscatel
White flowers, petals & peaches - touch of Flint.
Fat & waxy on the palate. Fleshy and a bit fibrous, with that White fruit giving way to orange flower water and then orange peel for a bit of bite and grip on the finish. Bright, summery stuff.
Roc Nu 2008
Baked red fruits, warm forest and summer fields. Bit of hay and earth.
Palate is soft, briary with a polished woodspice to it. No hard edges until the end, where a bit of a dirty bite reveals itself.
Alges 2009
Quite jammy red and dark fruit on the nose. Pulpy.
Lots of bright, dark fruit on the palate. More restrained secondaries- simpler but more pure and less dirty than the Roc Nu.
Tasted at Luvians Bottleshop 28/6/2011
