Tempranillo
SPAIN (Rioja)
2016

This wine is an adventure from A to Z !  If I tell you that you can bring a Temprenillo to a robe and expression of a Barolo or an Aglianico... you would probably call me names! But if per exemple you decide to give it a try and when you uncork this beauty, you see this pitch black stained cork you may suddenly doubt that I was right!  
Earthy berry aromas are lean and fiery, a good indicator of the shearing palate that's coming. Tart currant and red plum flavors are bold and supple. The finish is raw but lingering. Impressive score of 92 on the WS. This peculiar Tempranillo is definetly one of, or the most, extreme (in a good way) expression of the grape that Sandy and I have had so far.
