Tasting - Anciano Gran Reserva Tempranillo

Name: Anciano Gran Reserva Tempranillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Valdepenas
Country: Spain
Year: 2004
Price: $13.95

Winery Review: Anciano wines are matured for years in cellars stacked floor to ceiling with oak barrels. This slow, controlled maturation guarantees the perfect balance between ripe fruit and mellow oak character. Great things come with age!

My Review: This was sharp on the nose. I could really feel the affect of the alcohol from this on the nose. It was very dry and had a tart finish to it. The oak came out on the palate with a finish of fruit.

I did not try this with food.
