Region - Jumilla
Country - Spain
Year - 2010

Shop review - 4 months in new American oak barrels
Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry a and smoke notes repeat on
the finish.
My Review - This red wine had a very very wooden scent with undertones of raspberry and vanilla. It smells like it would be good with chocolate. This wine tasted very toasty, quite roasted. The wine had a wooden taste. It tasted like someone made juice out of wood that had been sitting with berries rubbed all in it. There was also a spice to the back of the throat and a campfire taste. This wine was not my favorite because it was so wintery and not right for the season I tasted it.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
