Pontecilla 2009 Old Vines Tempranillo (Calatayud)

Country: Spain / Old Vines
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Pontecilla / Calatayud

Dark, crusty and minty on the nose, with obvious oak. The palate is tannic as a drill, with hard blackberry and herbal flavors. Toasty and peppery tasting on the finish, which is tough and drawing in feel.
