Tasting- Senda 66 Tempranillo

Name: Senda 66 Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2008
Price: 8.95
Shop: Vintage Cellar
Review: 90 Points, Robert Parker
“The 2008 Senda 66 spent 8 months in new French
oak. Purple/black in color, it sports a fragrant nose
of spice box, lavender, blueberry, and blackberry.
Smooth-textured, layered, and remarkably rich on
the palate for its humble price, this lengthy effort will
drink nicely over the next 5-6 years.”
My Review: It smelled like blueberries, and fake flowery perfume. Maybe some apple and mint. It tasted sweet, with huge tannin, had a dry mouth afterward. Some smoke, but relatively wimpy.
