2008 Epoch Estate Wines Tempranillo

Community Tasting Note

Does not like this wine:

Friday, March 28, 2014 - As a cocktail wine, for those that prefer such things, this is fine. But as a varietal expression of Tempranillo, it's a thick, sappy mess. Honestly, this could have been anything, from anywhere. Formulaic (oak, raisins, EtOH, repeat), and without soul or nuance. Not advisable with food. The only bottle on the night that didn't get emptied (left half full, and there were nine people at the table). 15,9% abv

Aerated to decanter 2 hours, served non-blind.
