Vinyes del Terrer 2010 Terrer d’Aubert Red (Tarragona)

Country: Spain / Catalonia
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Vinyes del Terrer / Terrer d’Aubert

This Catalonian blend is a concentrated number with a narrow, fruit-forward nose and cheesy leather on the side. The palate is full, grabby and ripe; flavors of blackberry and cassis are jammy and dark. It finishes sweet in flavor and ultraripe in feel, with a syrupy aftertaste. Another year or two in bottle will help this settle down; drink through 2020.
