The Quinta de la Rosa 2011 has a relatively lighter, nevertheless well-defined, “l(fā)ight-hearted” bouquet that disguises its spirit well. The palate has a soft, rounded, viscous entry with kirsch, fresh prune and cassis all vying for attention. It lacquers the mouth but does not overpower, and its parting gift is a long sweet molasses-tinged finish. This is one of the more accessible declarations and a joy. Tasted May 2013.
