Wine Folly: pg.175 general Tempranillo- The book lists aromas of cherry, dried fig, cedar, tobacco, and dill for Tempranillo. It also says that this grape has a medium body, alcohol, acidity, and tannins. The book also states that it has a very low sweetness.

My Review: This wine is very bold! I enjoyed it's dry characteristics and lower tannins. I definitely got aromas of tobacco, vanilla, and blackberry in this wine. So far, all of the wines I have tried from Spain have delivered on so many levels! I would love to try this wine again with food. I'm thinking of buying some bacon wrapped beef and trying to pair it with this wine... I can taste it already!
