2007 Red Guitar Navarra Old Vine Tempranillo/Garnacha

We drank this bottle at the same event at my parents house. Noah picked it up at the grocery store on his way over after work.

This wine is 55% Tempranillo and 45% Garnacha. The grapes come from the Navarra region of Spain. It smelled very sweet for a dark red wine. It definitely had a sweet taste to it, but not in the way I expected. It was still very drying, and very bold with dark berries and currants. It also kind of tasted like pepper. yuck. The after taste was too lasting for me, and the more I drank, the more I disliked it. That's a shame. Usually after a few tastes, it gets better. Of course, I was drinking this AFTER a glass of Dry Reisling, and after a glass of normal Reisling. Probably not the best order to drink it in.

I tried another glass of it a few days later, and it did NOT hold well in the fridge. It tasted like peppered dill. Yuck.
