Grandes Vinos Y Vinedos S.A. Corona de Aragon CDA Old Vine, Villenueva de Huerva Region Garnacha 2010
Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
 | penin guide 2010: 89/100 points
wine advocate (vol 188, Apeil 2010, 89/100 points: "The 2009 Corona de Aragon Garnacha spent 4 months in French oak. Notes of cedar, eucalyptus, and black cherry lead to a supple, round, savory, concentrated wine that is a steal at the humble asking price. Grandes Vinos Y Vonedos collection is replete with stunning values."
Steven Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Sept/Oct 10), 88/100 Points: "Ruby-red. Smoky red berries and flowers on the nose, with complicating notes of herbs and smoked meat. Tightly wound and slow to unfold, offering lively red fruit flavors and good spicy lift. This rather taut, linear wine finishes with good clarity and spiciness." |
