Microscopi is a dry red wine with aromas of black fruits especially and a slight touch spicy and rustic Carignan. A round mouth full of freshness, slightly marked tannins and a beautiful persistence in the mouth. We find a wine made in the cool with a small Mediterranean side by its slightly grassy side.
90 Points, "El Microscopi was initially produced as a one-off charity wine to raise funds to buy a microscope for the Oncology department at the Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron in Barcelona where Irene Alemany was treated for cancer, but it's now on its fourth vintage with the 2016 El Microscopi. They have raised over €32,000 with the previous three vintages, and I'm sure this new 2016 will be a real success. It's an approachable blend of Merlot, Cariñena and Cabernet Sauvignon that was fermented with indigenous yeasts and racked and bottled following the cycle of the moon. It's aromatic and heady as well as serious, like all the reds here, wines that feel younger and in need of more time in bottle. It has a marked balsamic and herbal profile, with very good ripeness, concentration and balance. A lot more serious than the price tag might suggest. 3,260 bottles produced." - Wine Advocate
