Littore Family Wines. 2008 Tempranillo




General: This was remarkably cheap so I thought I'd give it a go.

Variety: Tempranillo

Region/G.I.: Central Victoria, Heathcote and Northern Victoria

Alcohol: 13.5%

Bouquet: Surprisingly complex. It is quite plummy with some menthol and a touch of oak

Flavour: Disappointing after the nose. This is a straightforward wine which is very plummy without much tannin or dryness to provide much complexity in flavour. A weak savoury dryness exists but more needed to support the fruit up front.

Points: 80

Notes: At $5.70 (97 Kc) it's a bargain. A fine, simple drink!
