Tasting - Torre Castillo Alegre
Variety: 100% Monastrell
Region: Jumilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $9.95
Review: 4 months in new American oak barrels
Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with
blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a
suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on
the finish.
My Review: This wine was extremely interesting. The pipe tobacco flavor and smell was overpowering for my taste. I really enjoyed the unique flavor of this wine however it is not something I would purchase for myself.
