Tasting - Lopez Panach Tempranillo

Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Castilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $3.95

Critic Review: This wine boasts a beautiful red ruby color with a purple hue; brighter than its previous vintages. This wines is fresh and bright with nuances of dark fruits like blackberries, black currants & raspberries. Inviting aromas of spices, wild flowers & violets. Fresh in the mouth with good structure, well balanced acidity & a medium finish. Lopez Panach wines represent amazing value with bright characteristics; and the 2009 Tempranillo is certainly true to that!

My Review: This wine had a very pretty cherry color.  I found the aroma to be a little unpleasant with scents of rotten fruit and mildew.  It was really bitter, with a long lasting smoky finish.  I didn't try this wine with food.
