Tasting - Tres Ojos Rose


Name: Tres Ojos Rose
Variety: 50% Tempranillo, 50% Garnacha
Region: Catalayud 
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $3.95


Vintage Cellar Review: 
This medium rose-colored rosado boasts a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry finish. Simple and refreshing and a natural for tapas.

My Review: 
The Tres Ojos Rose smelled like dark fruits and berries, but tasted slightly like cherry cough syrup - though not bracingly so. Warmed my palate nicely; however, I was surprised to find that it was 14.5% alcohol because it was misleading smooth with little bite.
