Tasting Rojo Garnacha Gran Rojo 2011


• Name: Rojo Garnacha Gran Rojo 2011 
• Variety: Garnacha
• Region: N/A
• Country: Spain 
• Year: 2011
• Price: $9.95
• Shop/wine critic/winery review:"The 2011 Rojo Garnacha has the colour of blackberry with blue tones, almost opaque. Intense and pleasant aromas of licorice and wild red and black berries fill the nose, with mineral undertones. Well-rounded and balanced on the palate, it is elegant and fresh. Red fruit, minerals and a hint of fresh thyme linger on the finish. It’s surprisingly silky and full-bodied, with a rich varietal expression."
• My review: This red wine was a very nice wine. It had a very dark and red color. It smelled full of fruit, tannins and oak. It was a very strong wine, it is well balanced. Even though it tasted very strong of tannins at first, the fruitiness and acidity blended it together very well and it had a nice finish. It is also a dry wine, which is something that I enjoy a lot. 
• I had this wine at wine tasting.
