Anciano Reserva Tempranillo, 5 Years

Happy hour at home and homemade sangria led to this purchase!



Country/Region/Year

Valdepenas, Spain, 2010

Flavors Present

From the brand: A ruby coloured wine shading to brick red towards the rim. Complex aromas of balsamic and liquorice combine with vanilla, spice and rich fruit compote on the nose. Appealing ripe berry and cherry fruit flavours come through at first taste, followed by balanced tannins and a smooth, satisfying finish.

Comparable to

This tempranillo reminded me very much of pinot noir, very light with hints of chocolate flavors. It was perfect for the sangria, easy to drink on its own, but I prefer fuller-bodied wines that are more oakey. If you like pinot noir or merlot, tempranillo is right up your alley.
