Tasting - Tres Ojos Rosé

Name: Tres Ojos Rosé
Variety: 50% Tempranillo, 50% Garnacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $1.95

Critic Review:  "This medium rose-colored rosado boasts a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry finish.  Simple and refreshing and a natural for tapas."

My Review:  The aroma of this wine was very fruity; it smelled like berries.  This wine was semi-dry, especially for a rosé, and has a 14% alcohol content.  I didn't think there was much taste, but I liked the balance of acidity.  However, I thought this wine had a bad after-taste and it kind of burned my taste buds.  I wasn't a huge fan of this wine, but I would buy it for the price alone.

I tasted this wine without food.
