The 2010 El Reventon comes from a one-hectare parcel of Garnacha. It has a beautifully defined bouquet with dark berries, roasted herbs, white fennel and a tincture of something exotic, perhaps wild honey and apricot blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with a very harmonious, succinct entry: a Grenache that is beautifully balanced with perfectly judged acidity. This is one of those wines that words cannot encapsulate: simply pure, unadulterated, expressive Grenache that is nothing short of world class. Drink 2014-2025+ If you are seeking Grenache that is understated, complex, full of character and honest without resorting to new oak or ostentation, then look no further than the exquisite and rather brilliant wines of Bodegas Jimenez-Landi, which have rightly been lauded by my predecessors in previous issues. I stand accused of being even more ecstatic about these wines that were riveting earlier this year: wines that stimulate the intellect as much as the senses.
