Thursday, June 3, 2010 - Nose: Dried Cherries, Raspberry, and Rosemary/Eucalyptus flavors. Palate: Light/Medium bodied. Dense Dried Black Cherry, tart blackberry, slight smoke, herb, and cardamon flavors. Finish: Tart, but full of almost raisny fruit flavors including dried cherry, apricot and cranberry. Lingered with a slight note of melted caramels. Tanins are slightly grippy, but not forceful.
A nice glass of wine, and a chance to try something unique. I am new to old world styles in Spain, but this was a good place to start.
