Segura Viudas 1997 Mas D’Aranyó Riserva Tempranillo (Penedès)

Country: Spain / Mas D’Aranyó Riserva
Variety: Tempranillo Catalonia
Winery: Segura Viudas / Penedès

Shows some nice red berry fruit with tobacco and white pepper accents, but a negative note between green pepper and sour cream distracts and detracts considerably. A tasty wine with nice feel and decent length upon opening, it disappointingly goes downhill as the off-putting element ascends. —M.M.
