A blend of Mourvedre, Grenache, and Syrah, the 2005 Panarroz is a wonderful value. It bursts from the glass with leather-laced black fruits. On the palate, this medium-bodied effort is big, spicy, reveals loads of depth, and has a tannic rusticity that screams out for barbequed steaks. Drink it over the next 2 years.

No matter how you slice this up, it comes out smelling and tasting sharp and burnt. The nose is brambly and fiery, while the mouth is peppery and rough. Hard and jagged at every turn, thus you need the pan y arroz (bread and rice), to absorb the wine’s kick.——M.S.(8/1/2007)—— 82
