La Mejorada 2011 Villalar Oro Tempranillo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

Country: Spain / Villalar Oro
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: La Mejorada / Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León

Earthy slightly rustic aromas suggest compost along with ripe berry fruits. This feels wide and heavy, with an extracted mildly tannic mouthfeel. Prune and blackberry flavors don’t see much acidic push, and thus this Tempranillo finishes blocky, ripe and chunky.
