On this occasion, I sought a recommendation for something new, offering two (take out) food options: Indian and pizza. The shop owner displayed a mix of intrigue and contemplation, as if wondering, “Which wines in will make the grade?” He then confidently perused his wine shelves and selected the Gramona Gessami from Penedès.

A brilliant ruby robe, some warm spice, black raspberry and cherry on the nose, and a hint of coconut and tobabcco. Chewy and full, still young and concentrated. Anise as the wine opens. A lovely oak spice, nice clarity and tannins. Beautiful finish. This wine will get even better with age over the next 10 years.
