Torre Castillo
Alegre
Variety: 100% Monastrell
Region: Jumilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $9.95
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 and
smoke notes repeat on the finish.
Personal Review: Nose of dark berries. Slight cherry taste and then hit with horrible taste of tobacco in midpalatte, which overtakes and is the entire aftertaste.
Food Paring: not tasted with food
