Tasting - Vina Galana Alicante Bouchet

Name: Vina Galana Alicante Bouchet
Variety: Alicante Bouchet
Region: Garncha Tintorera
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $15

Shop Review: 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 deep purple has a scent comparable to a tequila shot. The flavors don't get much better. The oak flavors punch you in the face mixing with tobacco.
