Tasting- "Senda 66 Tempranillo"

Name: Senda 66 Tempranillo
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2008
Price: $8.95

Wine 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: Average-Good. The nose smelled of strong lavender soap, but was also very sweet and had hints of vanilla. The taste had a very strong presence of cherries and had a little bite with a very dry finish. I did not taste this with food.
