I originally bought this to make sangria. I needed a diversion from summer whites so went to some of the older reds I had in the cellar which I wanted to drink through. I was not in the mood for sangria. I am more of a purist than not. I don't like adulterated coffees, beers or wines. I am of the opinion that coffees which need flavoring are inferior coffees to begin with, likewise beers and wines. In terms of cooking and drinking, I believe that the better the base ingredients, the better the end result, though some cooking is very forgiving of some questionable choices.
Anyway, this one started out a little firmer than what I was expecting. At first swirl, it was hot with alcohol. The tannins were there but were smooth. There was very little fruit. It was a very good food wine.
I do not have a picture of the label...how did that happen? Was I enjoying the wine that much? Maybe!
