Bodegas Medina 2005 Jaloco Red (Extremadura)

Country: Spain / Jaloco
Variety: Red Blend Central Spain
Winery: Bodegas Medina / Extremadura

This is one unusual wine. It’s a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with Tempranillo and Garnacha, but it smells like a root-based perfume mixed with herbs and tobacco. It’s over the hill in feel and green and herbal in flavor, with a raisiny aftertaste.
