Country: Spain / Peregrino Roble
Variety: Prieto Picudo Northern Spain
Winery: Gordonzello / Tierra de León
Opens with aromas of burnt leaves, roasted bell pepper and tomato and finally secondary red fruit. The palate is saturated but hard, with herbal, leafy, dry red-fruit flavors and a backing of cured meat. Herbal late, with some old-school cherry and tobacco. A tough wine, but at least it’s something different.
