Santa Carolina Specialties Dry Farming Carignan 2010, Cauquenes Valley
Chile$18.95
Rustic must be another word for puckering!! Definitely needs some serious salty protein to cut the tannins and sourness as per Szabo. It definitely lingers on the palate. I debated giving it a 90 but the sharpness and continued sourness left me with a 89. Still nice wine overall and a wonderful wine for the price!!

Descendientes De J. Palacios Pétalos 2009, Do Bierzo
Galicia, Spain$25.00
grippy tannins but not drying for sure, earthy, cherry fruit, somewhat rioja-like but distinctively different, really long-lasting finish, nice overall and outstanding for the price! Szabo is right on in his rating
