A good wine from Mallorca
My first wine from the holiday isle of Mallorca (which we, as kids, used to pronounce Majorca with the 'j'). For a ripe, warm climate wine weighing in at 14.5%, this is pretty good. And, all being well, I should be in Mallorca by the time you read this for a short break with the family.Macia Batle Crianza 2005 Binnisalem, Mallorca, Spain
Sweet, seductive ripe fruity nose with some savoury, spicy, tarry notes. Quite sophisticated in a warm, ripe style. The palate is sweetly fruited but has bold, earthy, spicy notes, too. Nicely savoury, finishing long and earthy. A complex wine that should evolve nicely for the next three years or so. 90/100 (£10.99 Noel Young, The Vineyard Dorking, Thomas Panton, Corks of Cotham)

I still pronounce it with a J! Can you buy the wine out there or is it for export only?
I've had a couple of good wines from Mallorca in the last month made by Miguelangel Cerda i Capo, the wines are called An Negra Vit (the black animal, which sounds ominous!)
There are 3 wines in the range, a callet, montenegro and syrah blend plus 2 Callets.Well worth tracking down if you have the time... I'd describe them as Burgundy made in southern Italy, if you get what I mean.
Yes, you can buy the wine there
dave, tips gratefully received
