2004 Castell Del Remei Gotim Bru

We are really glad we explored this Spanish wine. I think its a great deal at under $14, Wine Advocate awarded it 90pts.
A dark inky beauty, wonderful nose & tastes of red cherry with some cranberry, spice and a vegetal aspect (asparagas, celery).
Nicely balanced and integrated with a pleasurable mouthfeel.
I'm new to trying Bordeaux wines but this reminds of French wines of twice the price.
We are off to buy more!
The 2004 Gotim Bru is a blend of 50% Tempranillo, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Garnacha aged for 10 months in French and American oak. Purple-colored, it provides a fragrant nose of spice box, tobacco, blueberry, and blackberry. Firmly structured, medium to full-bodied, and layered, this ripe, tasty wine should evolve for 2-3 years but who is going to wait? It is an outstanding value. Score: 90. —Jay Miller, February 2007.
