Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 29, 2022 - Marked as unfiltered with no indication of aging (ie. Reserva, Crianza etc), this Joven level wine is 6 years old and showing dep ruby in the glass with pretty slow moving legs (14% ABV). The nose is a bit tart smelling with nice red fruit aromas of raspberry, red plum, hints of vanilla, purple licorice and perhaps some menthol. Surprisingly, no tertiary aromas yet. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity and medium tannins. The acid is making my jaw ache. It is medium bodied with flavors of sour cherry, black raspberry, plum, feint vanilla and a bit of menthol. The finish is medium in length and tart. The tannins fade pretty fast on this one, leaving it a bit unbalanced by the acidity and thinning fruit. It runs $15 nowadays and gets 90 points from me with a drink by 2024 window. 4 stars for this Tempranillo that I am pairing with grilled Chicken and plantains.
