Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y Leon, Sardon de Duero
A blend of Tempranillo (75 per cent), Cabernet Sauvignon (20) and Merlot.
Very dark purple in the glass.
Spicy nose.
Black cherry, raspberry, very tangy and bright, tobacco, cocoa, smoky, floral, a hint of coffee, light weight and rather lean.
With time, the wine became tangier and tarter.
While the wine was tangier and leaner than I would have liked, it was still quite rich and enjoyable.
A drying finish.
Purchased at $24.95 (Canadian).
