- This wine was interesting because I had never had a wine with tinto fino grape, especially at 100%. From the bouquet I knew right away this was going to be a spicy wine with strong hints of black pepper. This was reinforced by the initial tastes of pepper and amplified the tannic feeling. After the initial bite though it eased into a slight taste of blackberry jam on toast which allowed myself a drink after the final pallete. I also tasted some vanilla, but just barely, and all of these flavors blended well with dominant pepper and spice flavor. overall it was a well rounded wine with solid flavors that complimented itself well. If I ever visit Spain this would be the wine I would want to drink
- I did not eat anything with this wine but if I had the chance I would have eaten a steak.
