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 has very strong legs. It smells of licorice and has a very smooth initial taste. The wine goes down strong and leaves a dry, acidic finish in the mouth.


This was tasted without food
