Country: Spain / Kios Elite
Variety: Tempranillo Central Spain
Winery: Tikalo / Vino de la Tierra de Castilla
Earthy and rich Tempranillo with hints of fresh herbs, tomato, balsam wood and spice in addition to roasted plum on the bouquet. The palate is tannic and big but shows a ton of fruit and classy flavors of roasted berry, dark chocolate, licorice and dried spices. Heady on the finish and aggressive, but loaded with flavor, kick and quality. Drink now through 2014.
