Deep, dark, and heavy. Precise and polished. These words can describe the wine and the album of todays post. I first tried the Atteca 2006 Old Vines Garnacha (100% Grenache) around July of this year. It burst with blackberry and raspberry flavors from the outset and finished with a lingering chocolate essence. It is drinking fantastic right now but I think it will be even better in another year. The soft, easy tannins make this a stand-alone kind of wine.
The description of the wine is also exactly what I think of D-Bridge's first album - The Gemini Principle. This album is an almost overwhelming experience. Tracks like Blush response (with Instra:mental) are a lesson in clinical, yet deep and hypnotic, tracks. "Creatures of Habit" is a dreamy, melancholy triumph. As usual his ear for detail is impeccable. This song defines D-Bridge. It truly shows his genius. Actually, the whole album is filed with one phenomenal song after another.
This wine and this album create a beautiful atmosphere. You can feel your head nodding while you take another sip from the glass. As I said before, deep, dark, and heavy. Enjoy. I'm turning up the music and pouring a glass.
