Tasting - Vina Aljibes Bordeaux Blend

Vina Aljibes Bordeaux Blend

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Merlot (35%), and Cabernet Franc (25%)
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2007
Price: $19.95
Shop review: It exhibits a similar aromatic and flavor profile to its older sibling but appears to be a bit fresher due to its relative youth. It is also an outstanding value for drinking from 2012 to 2022. These new releases from Bodega Los Aljibes demonstrate what can be achieved by talented vignerons working in selected regions of La Mancha. Bodegas Los Aljibes is one of the up-and-coming stars of La Mancha.
My review: Very peppery and sandalwood-like mixed with dark fruit on the nose. I got a strong rush of heat tasting this wine. Reminded me of a leather couch. An intense wine.
I did not have food with this tasting.
