Tasting - Torre Castillo Alegre


Name: Torre Castillo Alegre
Variety: 100% Monastrell
Region: Jumilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $9.95

Winery Review4 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: Nice red color. Smelled like a smokey grill along with a little of a fruit bouquet. Had a tobacco taste definitely, also light fruits in the mix. Smokey in the taste, as well as distinguishable cherry flavors. Not my favorite wine.

I tried this wine without food.
