Volvemos a probar un vino de Barranco Oscuro. Éste lo conocimos con ocasión de nuestra visita a la bodega, donde tuvimos el privilegio de compartir un buen rato con Manuel Valenzuela. Y nos gustó mucho en la cata que hicimos allí. Se trata, una vez más, de un vino cuya producción es muy limitada.
Nueve meses después lo probamos en casa. De color rubí, en nariz nos pide tiempo. Al principio aparecen notas de barniz, de cuero. Encontramos un fondo de fruta roja madura (estamos bastante más cerca de África que de Borgoña). Los aromas de crianza aparecen con discreción, con notas de café. También se asoman las especias.Tiene el mérito de que el alcohol no se nota (y eso que son 15 grados).
En boca esa carga alcohólica está bien compensada con la acidez, que gana la partida. El paso por boca es más ligero de lo que a priori su graduación y su origen geográfico invitan a pensar. Los taninos están, pero son agradables , aportan un ligero amargor, que junto a las notas salinas que guarda este tinto, le dan carácter.
El recuerdo que deja es muy agradable, sabroso, invita a repetir. Pide a gritos un buen acompañamiento sólido, una buena comida.
Nos costó 19,50 € en vinosautenticos.com
¡Salud!
ENGLISH VERSION
Nine months ago we had the privilege of sampling a wine from Barranco Oscuro's winery where we shared the wonderful company of Manuel Valenzuela. Today we return for a review of the full product at home.
The wine is ruby in color with a nose that requires adequate time to fully appreciate. At first we are greeted with aromas of varnish and leather. We found a ripe red fruit bottom as this wine originates closer to Africa than from Burgundy. The ageing smells appear discretely with notes of coffee as well as various spices. The wine's fifteen percent alcohol content is not noticeable due to the merits of the strong flavors.

At the mouth, the alcohol content is overpowered by its acidity. The taste is lighter than its alcohol content and origin would suggest. Tannins are present but they are enjoyable with a light bitterness joined by hints of salt which give it character.
This wine left us with a nice taste that asks to be had again. To appreciate this wine it demands to be paired with a good meal.
It is available for 19.50€ at www.vinosautenticos.com in very limited production.
Cheers and good health!
