Just a quick note on this one, no time for chit chat today.  A rustic Tempranillo from Calatayud.

Really quite dark, not black but a very dark purple.  The nose is full of plum fruit jubes, dark cherries, hints of roses, light pepper and liquorice.  Full throttle in the mouth, I'm not sure how they got all this fruit in here.  But its savory fruit and overall the wine shows great balance.  The palate mirrors the nose of for the most part, the finish is long with subtle tannins.  A really enjoyable winter drink.  88 Pts.
