Tasting - Finca del Casatillo Tempranillo


Name: Finca del Castillo Tempranillo
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $4.95

Winery Review: Rooty, spice and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spice flavors. Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato.

My Review: The raisin and cola flavors emit a sweet aroma that enticed me enough to buy a bottle for home consumption (it was rather enjoyable).

I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
