Tasting - Senda 66 Tempranillo



Name: Senda 66 Tempranillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Country: Spain
Year: 2008
Price: $8.95

Vintage Cellar Review: 90 Points, Robert Parker “The 2008 Senda 66 spent 8 months in new French oak. Purple/black in color, it sports a fragrant nose of spice box, lavender, blueberry, and blackberry. Smooth-textured, layered, and remarkably rich on the palate for its humble price, this lengthy effort will drink nicely over the next 5-6 years.”

My Review: This was a very deep red wine.  It smelled of cherries and dark fruit, with a possible hint of strawberry candy.  The wine tasted similar to its nose, and was very smooth.  There was a strong tannic feel to the wine upon swallowing.  This wine was ago, a little too tannic for my taste.
