Vintage Cellar Tasting - Veleta Tempranillo

  • Name: Veleta
  • Variety: Tempranillo
  • Region: Granada
  • Country: Spain
  • Year: 2010
  • Price: $3.95
  • Shop Review: Fresh in flavor and crisp in texture, this dry rose offers berry, tart cherry, and light herbal flavors, with firm acidity and a clean finish.  Focused and juicy.
  • My Review: This wine was from the same vineyard as the previous wine but very different.  It smelled like strawberries and bananas as well as giving off a musty flavors, but not quite as musty as the previous, it had a sweet must to it.  The wine was dry with a slight hotness to it, it didn't give off nearly as strong or good of a flavor as the previous.  No bite whatsoever, almost just like off-flavored water.  I got hints of pecans in the aftertaste, as well as a vomit flavor, not the all out vomit, but the kind that you accidentally burp out and it kinda burns but its not enough to make you throw up so you just swallow it and it tastes kinda gross but not overly so that you can't do it.  It tasted like that.
  • No food to offset the vomit.
