Tasting - Tres Ojos Old Vines Granacha

Name: Tres Ojos Old Vines Garnacha
Varietal: Garnacha
Region: Calatayud, Spain
Country: Spain
Year: 2016
Price: $12.00

Shop Review: "The wine has a brick red color with a bouquet of red raspberries, spice and white pepper. The palate is incredibly concentrated and rich. The modern styles of Garnacha in Spain are continuously being perceived worldwide as wines of extraordinarily good quality. This wine is fruity, juicy and shows a great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness."

My Review: This wine smelled like straight liquor to me or hand sanitizer. To follow that, there is a very strong alcohol taste. Then I tasted hints of spices. This wine was heavier bodied and very tarte.

I did not try this with food.
