Winery Review: Made from monastrell grapes grown on gnarled vines, in the rugged, arid climate of Alicante, Tarima blossoms in your glass with notes of licorice, chocolate, and a hint of dark violet.
My Review: First off, this wine was great. It has a very dark color, near black in the glass. The nose of this wine gives off smells of blackberry, chocolate, and a slight metallic smell. The overall bouquet was not that impressive. What was impressive was the complexity of the palate of this red. The wine starts off with a little bit of spice, has a punch of fruit on the mid-palate, and finishes dry revealing a mature tannic structure.
