Torres Coronas Tempranillo 2002
Price: $10 bottle
Type: Tempranillo
Cork: natural and uninspired
Rating: 7
I freely admit I'm partial to Tempranillo wines, so it was no surprise that I liked this one. Honestly, the only bad bottle of Tempranillo I've had cost $4 for a bottle. Hmm...I wonder if that had anything to do with the quality?
This ruby red wine has a moderate aroma, pleasant but not overwhelming. It's very smooth on the tongue, with a pleasantly sweet but slightly watery foretaste. It really shines when it hits the back of the tongue, deepening in flavor then mellowing for the aftertaste.
Like most Tempranillo's, this one paired well with spicy food, in this case an Indian dinner. This is one I'll probably pick up again.
