Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2015
Price: $4.95
Winery Review: Vivid ruby. Spice-accented
red and dark berry aromas show good clarity and a hint of fresh rose. Juicy and
seamless on the palate, offering lively currant and bitter cherry flavors that
become sweeter with air. Clings with good tenacity on the energetic finish,
which repeats the floral note and shows no tannins.
My Review: The initial nose is filled with a salty sandy air which speaks to the terroir of La Mancha, but then warm dark fruit permeates through in accompaniment. Once transferred to the palette, the salt recedes and the dark fruit reveals itself as cherry with some sort of accenting berry. Though dark fruit is foremost in the senses, the overall taste is light with a slight spice similar to peppermint.
Tasted without food.
