  2/22/2018 - WineTally Does not like this wine:

  34% Shiraz, 33% Tempranillo, 33% Carignan
  Vino de la Tierra de Extremadura, Spain
  Winemakers: Norrel Robertson (Master of Wine) & Ignacio Gonzalez
  14% Abv.
  
  A(ccuracy)=2: Dark purple/brown. Tarry, over-riped and jammy.
  B(alance)=1: Sweetness dominant, high tone acidity.
  C(omplexity)=1: Stewed fruits, wet mushrooms.
  D(epth)=2: Concentrated and intense.
  
  Wine Tally Score [2,1,1,2] = 6/10
  
  Bottle is obviously not stored in ideal condition. Open to chary, tarry oxidized nose and hot pungent taste. Interestingly, after being given up for 2 days, it actually became drinkable. As usual, our Wine Tally notes are for the actual tasting.

  opens up after a few minutes in the air. Could be spicier. Not bad for the price. Deep red. Medium legs. Balance is ok. Earth tones on nose.
