Tasting Los Dos Grenache Syrah


Name: Los Dos Grenache Syrah
Variety: Grenache and Syrah
Region: Campo de Borja

Country: Spain
Year: 2015
Price: $8.95  
Winery review:  Almira’s 2010 Los Dos is a blend of 85% Garnacha and 15% Syrah fermented and aged in tank. Blue and black fruits, pepper, and incense inform the nose of this savory, layered red. It is a very good value meant for drinking over the next 3-4 years.
My review: Smells jammy and of fresh fruit. Slightly floral. Not good. Earthy like dirt with too mich alcohol. Not balanced and not enough actual fruit to taste. Fungus earthy aftertaste with the alcohol shooting up and burning the sinuses.
 
I tasted this on its own with no food.
