Tasting - Torre Castillo Alegre

Name: Torre Castillo Alegre
Varietal: 100% Monastrell
Region: Jumilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $9.95

Wine Shop Review: Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish.

My Review: Smells of tobacco and cherries. Tasted like raisins with an earthy, vegetal finish.

I tasted this wine by itself.
