Borsao will Borja

Borsao 2009 Campo de Borja “Viña Borgia” (Aragón) – Chunky, clumsy, stumbling blackish and brackish fruit. I’ll give it this: it’s better than most Argentinian malbecs at this price point. Faint, I know. (6/11)

Elessar

Las Rocas de San Alejandro 2007 Catalayud Garnacha (Aragón) – Big, fruity wine. Soupy, perhaps, with lots of unfocused berries and a slightly numbing weight. Simple-minded, too. But at a low enough price, decently drinkable. (6/10)
