This Spanish red was very intense – really powerful flavor, a bit too much bite for my taste. The tannins weren’t too heavy; just too concentrated and with some spice. When poured, it’s extremely dark-colored. However, I love the fact that the La Huella de Adaras‘ vineyard uses sustainable farming techniques!
