Tasting-Finca del Castillo Tempranillo



Name: Finca del Castillo Tempranillo
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: Ciudad Real (Manzanares)
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $4.95
Shop review: “Rooty, spicy 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.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: The color of the wine was a dark red.  I myself did not taste the tomato finish described in the review, but I did taste fruit flavors.  I thought that it had a sour or citrus taste, which I thought is unexpected for a red wine.

I did not drink this with food.
