Castillo de Almansa Tempranillo
Tried this one at the Keg last night. The wine is quite deep in color mild on the nose with the typical black fruits coming through and a hint of oak. On the mid pallet are some very nice fruits to match the bouquet. Some blueberries and the like. Not too sweet just right. On the finish the wine has some nice complexity, some subtle tannins and a medium finish. I quite enjoyed this one and paired it with a filet mignon and it went very well. This turned out to be a good choice. I would give this an 89-90. There are Almansa wines at the LCBO but I can not tell if it is this one or not. If your at the Keg and enjoy Tempranillo’s be sure and give this one a try …
