Westend. 2008 Tempranillo



General: Post-Christmas and a cold day. Time to try something a little heavier.

Variety: Tempranillo

Region/G.I.: Southern New South Wales, Hilltops

Alcohol: 14.0%

Bouquet: Liquorice with a hint of vanilla

Flavour: Relatively simple but satisfying. Liquorice and some spice with a dry finish. Tannins were a little strong (to my liking) but a little more time will make this even better

Points: 82

Notes: I think this retails, with the usual discounts in the $15 (240 Kc) range. One of the better Australian grown Tempranillos I have tasted.
