Tasting- Torre Castillo Alegre

Name: Torre Castillo Alegre
Variety: Monastrell
Region: Rhone
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $9.95
Shop 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: Cherry nose with a hint of black berries. Another warm wine. Oaky finish and has a bite to it. Finish lasts for quite a while.

Tasted with food or not: None.
