$3 Garnacha/Tempranillo Abrazo Del Toro 2005 SpainTrader Joes

This wine is definitely an acquired taste. As soon as the cork popped, the aroma of wet cats and latex was overwhelming. There was some berry flavors hiding in there somewhere, but the intense astringency was more than I could bear. However, after choking down an entire glass... there were some redeeming qualities. The berry flavor became very strong as well as an orange-citrus flavor and extreme tanginess. I still don't think I would buy it again or recommend it.

I give this interestingly tangy wine 2 out of 5 stars
