Vintage Cellar Review: Bright
purple. High-pitched red berry and floral scents display good clarity and a
hint of cracked pepper. Shows a touch of jamminess to its pliant black
raspberry and cherry compote flavors, with a spicy quality adding vibrancy.
Finishes with good focus and no obvious tannins, leaving a sweet berry note
behind.
My Review: This Tempranillo wine was medium ruby red and
medium bodied. The aroma brought in intense raspberry tones with hints of oaky
barrels. In the mid palate, the wine was extremely dry but still held onto some
of that raspberry quality. Going to the after taste, the raspberry was replaced
with a tart under ripe strawberry flavor which had a little tartness to. The
dryness from the mid palate prevailed through the after taste for about 20
seconds.
Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at
the Vintage Cellar.
