Tasting - "Torre Castillo Cosecha Monastrell"

Name: Torre Castillo Cosecha Monastrell
Variety: Monastrell
Region: Jumilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Wine Review: "100% Monastrell, aged in American oak for four months. Bright ruby. Powerful, spicy aromas of dark berry preserves and lavender. Fleshy and round on the palate, offering spicy blackberry and blueberry flavors and gaining sweetness with air. Finishes smooth, long and slightly warm."

My Review: This wine smells like cherry Twizzlers and flowers. The taste is sour and bitter and dries your mouth out a lot with an alcoholic aftertaste.
I enjoyed this wine without food.
