Reflexion Tempranillo (Spain, 2003)

Category: Tempranillo — Mike @ 3:55 pm

	This wine is a Tempranillo from the Rioja region of Spain. We explained a little about what a Rioja was in a previous review on Marques De Riscal The bottle suggests opening it several hours prior to drinking and we would agree. We found that with the use of a decanter that an hour was all it took to be ready. Decanting really smoothed out the wine and added a wonderful texture. This wine has received many accolades from other reviewers and being that the price was only $10.00 we would agree with them.
	$10 at Fresh & Easy

Sweet black cherries dominate the aroma with an undertone of spice Very soft and velvety in the mouth Cherries and plum in the taste Earthy with oak flavors come through at the end. A great wine that is a little bit harsh right out of the bottle. Decanting and time is strongly suggested….much like a relationship that takes time and effort so to does this wine…The time you give it to breath will reward you for your wait and you will be left with a very easy drinking, smooth and comfortable wine.
