Tasting-El Cortijillo Tempranillo


Name: El Cortijillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2014

Price: $9

Winery 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: This wine had a caramel candy and fruit smell (I'm still having trouble differentiating the fruits I smell in wines.) Upon tasting this wine was VERY dry, which I did not particularly enjoy. I continued to taste the caramelized candy and fruitiness.

This wine was not enjoyed with food.
