Tasting- "Ilurce"

Name: Ilurce Tempranillo
Variety: Red Grape
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Year: 2008
Price: $14

Winery Review: Dark purple. Zesty, youthfully medicinal aromas of dark berries, licorice and cracked pepper. Juicy and fresh, with smooth texture and sweet cherry and spice flavors framed by dusty tannins. Finishes with a suggestion of slightly roasted fruits and good clinging persistence. Delivers a lot of power and richness for the money.


My Review: This Spanish red wine was dark purple. It also had flakes at the bottom of the glass. It smelled a lot like blackberry and also tasted like blackberry. It did not have much flavor to it. It was a little watery and bitter.
