2003 Artesa Tempranillo

Written By: Michael Zimberg on Thu, Nov 6th 2008

This was given to me as a gift, and it passes the test. Thanks Delia! Nice dark ruby color, and compelling aromas of cherry juice. Impressive entry, with a kick of spicy and nicely sweet fruit. Then a thick syrup on the finish. It is easy to drink , and would work well with most food. Drank with an incredible Salami. Retail $25.
