Vintage Cellar review: Bright purple. High-pitched red berry and floral
scents display good clarity and a hint of cracked pepper. Shows a touch of
jamminess to its pliant black raspberry and cherry compote flavors, with a
spicy quality adding vibrancy. Finishes with good focus and no obvious tannins,
leaving a sweet berry note behind.
My review: A medium colored red wine with a musty oak smell. Tempranillo is a very masculine wine, with a strong oak taste mixed with a leathery twist and elderberry flavor. This wine's flavors were hard to pinpoint, which was probably due to the fact that I did enjoy this wine as much. This wine reminds me more of a winter wine to be enjoyed by a fire while relaxing and reading a book.
