Comando G, Vinos de Madrid (Spain) Garnacha 2018

Jan 10, 2024

By Miranda Franco

 I keep returning to this producer, Comando G, as so few producers can craft such finesse from Garnacha.  The Rozas 1er Cru comes from several plots of Garnacha near the town of Rozas de Puerto Real.  It is ridiculously fragrant, redolent of crushed violets and black cherry with a hint of candied strawberry.  While there is no shortage of fruit notes, this wine has a distinct rocklike backbone.  That palate offers mouthwatering acidity, a silky texture, and supple tannins.  The Rozas 1er Cru delivers outstanding quality for its price.  I would happily pick up any vintage I could find.
