Tasting - Tres Ojos Rose

Name: Tres Ojos Rose
Variety: 50%Tempranillo, 50% Garnacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $1.95

Winery Review: "This medium rose-colored rosado boasts a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry finish. Simple and refreshing and a natural for tapas." Vintage Cellar wine notes

My Review: Although this rosé concoction might have been a little past its prime, I think it's age actually give it a little character and pizazz. The nose was very heavy on the cherry and it had a little kick on the mid-pallet, maybe exposing some of those spices. It was slightly dry, providing a nice crisp finish, very enjoyable, despite being a little flabby.

 I sampled the wine without food.
