The wine Bianca's father served to Shizuku is like a European late autumn forest, or a fairy hidden within such a forest, with only faint whispers reaching the ear, yet possessing strong energy like an ancient moss-covered tree in a European dark forest.

Tasting notes

Bodega Marañones Labros is a red wine from the Catalonia region of Spain. This 2008 vintage captures the essence of the local terroir, offering a depth that is characteristic of Catalonia's climate. While the specific grape variety remains unspecified, the wine clearly reflects the unique soil and climate influences of the region.

In volume 37, Bianca's father serves this wine to Shizuku, describing it as reminiscent of a European autumn forest. It's like a fairy hidden in the woods, with only faint whispers reaching the ears. It's quiet, yet its contained energy is profound, akin to the ancient, moss-covered giant trees of a dark European forest.

Pouring this wine reveals a deep ruby hue with a slight orange tinge at the rim. The aroma is open, offering lush notes of black cherry and dark plum, intertwined with complex hints of dried herbs and earthiness. On the palate, it starts smoothly, with a mellow fruitiness unfolding. The acidity is smooth, and the tannins feel silky and well-integrated. It finishes with a medium-long, robust conclusion.

For the best experience, serve this wine at around 16°C. A medium-sized glass will enhance its elegance and complexity, allowing you to fully appreciate what it has to offer.
