Tasting - Protocolo

Name: Protocolo Vino de la Tierra
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Castilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95
Winery Review: Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon, and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.
Personal Review: This Tempranillo smelled minty with hints of honey, lemon, and orange. The wine was crisp, and consisted of orange, honey, and lemon flavors. It was quite bitter and a bit tart and dry at first but it had a long, smooth finish. It left my mouth a little dry, but it was also very refreshing at the same time. I really enjoyed this wine. I did not have it with any food.
