Vintage Cellar Review (From Robert Parker, 88 points): "The 2012 Tres Ojos Garnacha contains 15% Tempranillo (I wonder why), and unoaked cuvée of 200,000 bottles that matures in vat for at least seven months before bottling. What I tasted was a very honest, fresh and fruit-driven red with aromas of cherries, garrigue and thyme with a medium-bodied palate, some weight and tannins that would do better with food. This is a red that sells for a song.”
My Review: This dark red wine smelled a lot like berries. While it is from 40-year-old vines, the taste was quite like some mixture of cherries and berries. This one was not quite as dry as the wine before, but still quite strong.
