Vintage Cellar Tasting - Opera Prima

• Opera Prima
• Sweet Red
• Daimiel, Ciudad Real
• Spain
• 2010
• $4.95
• Doesn't try to hide its warm-climate terroir, with a soft texture framing jammy-sweet black raspberry, cherry, red currant, root beer and sweet tea.  Drink now.
• This wine was ridiculously sweet, I mean obviously, because it says "sweet red," so I guess I should have expected it.  When I first smelled it my nose literally tingled, I could tell it packed a super sweet punch.  And it did.  It was delicious, I could taste all the berries and fruits so easily...maybe a little too easily though.  It was definitely too sweet for my liking, I could have a half a glass, one time, and then I would be happy for awhile.  Definitely meant as a dessert wine, nothing wrong with that, but not really for me.
• And again, no food.  I would like to find a place that pairs food with their wine tastings sometime.
