Tasting - Tres Ojos Garnacha



Name
: Tres Ojos Garnacha
Variety: Garnacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Vintage Cellar Review: The wine has a brick red color with a bouquet of red raspberries, spice and white pepper. The palate is incredibly concentrated and rich. The modern style of Garnacha in Spain are continuously being perceived worldwide as wines of extraordinarily good quality. This wine is fruity, juicy and shows great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness. Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses etc.

My Review: On the nose was a lot of dark fruits, like blackberries and black cherries. The smell was surprisingly sugary. The taste had a good amount of spice in it and it was somewhat vegetal. This wine was also very tannic. I didn't mind this wine, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to have it again.
I did not have any food with this wine.
