Shop Review: "A blend of 70% Garnacha Tintorera, a.k.a. Alicate Bouschet, and 30% Monastrell; fermented in stainless steel, followed by four months in French oak. Bright purple. Cassis, blueberry, pungent herbs and mocha on the nose. Smooth and open-knit on the palate, displaying fresh cherry and dark berry qualities and a hint of black pepper. Finishes with gripping tannins and good length, leaving a subtle floral note behind."
My Review: The color was a deep purple. Its scent was peppery and plastic-like. It had a spicy flavor with some more plastic notes. It had strong tannins and a hot finish. Didn't really enjoy this wine too much. Was not paired with any food.
