Tasting - Vina Borgia 2010

Name: Vina Borgia
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: Campo de Borja
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $6.99

Online Review: "Full and ripe, even a bit overripe, this rich and exuberant wine offers lots of black fruits and some raisin notes with raspberries and mulberries competing with those raisins. The finish shows some mint and firm tannins, adding to the sense of play. Drink soon or in the next several years."

My Review: There were hints of dark berries and black pepper in the bouquet. On the palate, this wine had a strong ripe cherry flavor and spicy finish. It's been one of my more favorite Tempranillos that I've tried this semester.

This wine was tasted without food.
