Tasting - Finca del Castillo Tempranillo

Name: Finca del Castillo Tempranillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $4.95
Wine Review: Rooty, spicy and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spic flavors. Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato.
My Review: The Tempranillo has a darker red color. It had a very spicy smell. The Tempranillo had a very tart and rooty taste. It also had a bitey taste to it. I liked this wine.
Food: I did not taste this wine with food.
