Appearance | The red wine Borsao Tres Picos is medium purple with a violet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | This varietal Grenache is inviting and expressive. Aromas of ripe red fruit, in all of its variants, combined with some toasted notions and notes of liquorice, aromatic herbs, and even some floral overtones. |
Palate | Fruit-driven and nicely crafted, with hints of red plums and dried blackberries, sustained by a good acidity and nuanced by some herbal touches. The wine has a nice freshness, and tannins are savoury and ripe. This wine of Bodegas Borsao has a medium finish, with an aftertaste of spices and underbrush. |
Our personal opinion | Already a modern classic, the wine Borsao Tres Picos 2021 is a smooth, tasty wine good for any occasion. Fabulous value. |
