Esence of power.

Bearing in mind the amount of tannat in this wine I've thought that decanting would be a good idea. During the decanting process I can smell rippen strawberries, black olives and bacon. I thought that the sip would be as kind as the smells so...zas! Terrific tannins that knocks out me. Tremendous. I throw the towel for this first round.
Let's see what we found at second day. The tannicity is know gently beside the other wine components and gives a nice rough nudge, with a pretty firmness. This wine is really power biased, but with a good sense of the meaning. It's its real nature. All you know that I dislike that kind of wines where the power comes from ultraextraction, highly-alcohol-powered and all sorts of ultraeverything, nonetheless the sense of power of this wine is different. In addition to this there's a backbone of acidity that gives the last move for the sip.
What pairing? well... I decided to use a train crash pairing. It's been paired with pork hands stew (a sort of traditional spanish dish, quite similar to 'callos'/tripe stew) and for the dinner it's been paired with mushrooms cooked in sauce of the same dish than for lunch. I've to admit that food and wine found their common points and now they're friends ;)
It's a nice wine out of any kind of subtle hint. I think about how this wine will age 'cos I find many components with enough presence to allow a good aging process, anyway I can be wrong, you know.
