Tasting - "Vina Galana Alicante Bouchet"

Name: Vina Galana
Variety: Alicante Bouchet
Region: Spain
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Sale Price: $9.95
Regular Price: $15

Winery Notes:
From the rare Alicante Bouchet, one of the few grapes in the world with red flesh this wine has a plush texture carring flavors of brandied cherry and chocolate ganache in this round red. Light tannins and gentle acidity impart a lovely, balanced structure.






My review:
This red wine had a dull smell of pine wood, reminiscent of the outdoors. The wine was extremely bitter, especially upon swallowing. The bitterness was overpowering, but there was undertones of a smokey taste. This wine was tasted without food.
