Tasting- El Cortijillo Tempranillo

Name: El Cortijillo
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2014
Price: $9

Winery Review:  Bright purple. High-pitched red berry and floral scents display good clarity and a hint of cracked pepper. Shows a touch of jamminess to its pliant black raspberry and cherry compote flavors, with a spicy quality adding vibrancy. Finishes with good focus and no obvious tannins, leaving a sweet berry note behind.    

My Review: I think this wine had a very buttery yet vinegary smell. The wine was dry and kind of tasted like plastic. It also had a weak flavor in my opinion, not very good tasting.
