Tasting - Finca del Castillo Tempranillo

 
Name: Finca del CastilloTempranillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $4.95
 
Winery Review: Rooty, spicy, and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spic flavors. Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato.
 
My Review: Though it was not fruity, it was easy to drink. I didn't get much from the nose but I did taste some spice when I drank it. I did not like the peperry taste to it. It was like drinking a V8.
 
I did not have it with any food.
