Bodegas Franco-Españolas 2005 Rioja Bordón Reserva Tempranillo (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Rioja Bordón Reserva Tempranillo
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Bodegas Franco-Españolas / Rioja

Rooty, spicy and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola and spice flavors. Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato.
