Canforrales Roble’02 gets 87 from Wine Spectator

Is TM finally seeing the light?
Guess prices will go up...maybe all the way to 4€ !!

I haven’t tried that wine yet.

Anyway, I don’t like this new Spanish fashion of putting the word ";roble"; (oak) in the labels.

Do you like this ";semi-crianza"; (usually 3-6 months of mostly new oak ageing) concept?

A TN and somebody say something like: ";Nice oak smell/flavour";... For heavens sake! Do you want to drink wine or wood-juice????
I do agree with any hint of complexity that wood can give to a wine, but looking for wood smell/flavours as the carrier of a wine structure... I can’t understand it :(

Cheers,

Jose

";Manchegonator";...... I presume you’ll have the double nationality really soon ;)))

Well, this was really just for a laugh (will Choche see this?), but I truly am endorsing ";the cause"; with an intensity no-one ever saw me display re Tenerife wines!! The quality of the wines may have to do with it, but indeed some 5% may be attributed to Stockholm syndrom...
