Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:
"The 2012 Tres Ojos Garnacha contains 15% Tempranillo (I wonder why), and unoaked cuvée of 200,000 bottles that matures in vat for at least seven months before bottling. What I tasted was a very honest, fresh and fruit-driven red with aromas of cherries, garrigue and thyme with a medium-bodied palate, some weight and tannins that would do better with food. This is a red that sells for a song.”
Personal Tasting Notes:
This was a purplish red wine and had a slightly sweet aroma and actually smelled a bit like gym mats and vinyl. Also there was strong leather and tobacco flavors and a spicy black pepper finish to the wine. This wine reminded me of my grandfather's cigars and pipes. However, I did not like this wine at all.
This wine was tasted without food
