Tritón 2008 Tempranillo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

Country: Spain /
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Tritón / Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León

This is the prototype for an over-the-top, roasted, charred Tempranillo. The nose smells directly of burnt coffee, charcoal and grilled beef. It’s super-chunky on the tongue, with dominating roasted black fruit flavors. It has its merits but is still too blackened for our liking.
