Casa del Valle 2011 Orquestal Tempranillo (La Mancha)

Country: Spain / Orquestal
Variety: Tempranillo Central Spain
Winery: Casa del Valle / La Mancha

Aromas of mulled black fruits, vanilla, tobacco, orange peel and earth are a touch jumbled, but compartmentalized—this smells nice. Wiry and fresh in feel, but with a slightly hollow midsection, this tastes peppery, oaky and like cherry and black plum. A toasty finish with snappy acidity solidifies this medium-weight La Mancha Tempranillo. Drink through 2019.
