Tasting-Mano a Mano Tempranillo

Name: Mano a Mano Tempranillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Not listed
Country: Spain
Year: Not listed

Price: $10.95

Vintage Cellar Review (From Stephen Tanzer): Deep ruby. Rich, smoke-tinged dark berry and plum aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Lush and supple on the palate, showing an open-knit dark fruit character and a subtle bitter chocolate quality. This broad, chewy wine finishes with fine-grained tannins and a touch of cracked pepper. 

My Review: The color appeared quite dark red and that did not intrigue me from the beginning due to my typical aversion to reds. Pleasantly, it smelled like berries which made me more anxious to sample it. However, upon tasting it was quite dry and I found it hard to drink because I was not a fan. Honestly, it tasted like most of the reds I've ever had.
