Region: Carinena, Spain
Vintage: 2007
Closure: Cork
Colour: Bright, dark purple
Alcohol: 13.0%
Bouquet: Strong sour cherry, hints of barnyard smells like wet cow and moist wood. Overall, fruit predominant.
Flavour: Medium bodied with fruit flavour according to the nose with some bay leaf and green olive flavours. Excellent tannins but the flavours dissipate quickly. There's a rush a flavour at the start, a rush to tannin and then it's all over
Points: 84 (3+7+11+6+7+50)
Notes: Given the strength of the tannins now, after 8 years, I can't imagine what it was like before!
