Tasting - Breca Tovana Old Vine Garnacha 2013

Breca Tovana Old Vine Garnacha 2013
Munebrega, Spain
Price: $8.95

Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: "Gnarled vines, grown without irrigation, are a mainstay of Spain’s winemaking tradition and produce small clusters of perfectly ripe Garnacha grapes. Aromas of blackberries, plums, and cherries fill the glass and develop into luscious flavors of black stone fruit. Long, supple tannins complete this extraordinary wine."

Strong black currant bouquet on the nose along with blackberries and other dark fruits were very prominent with this dark red. On the palate I found it to be pretty smoky, which I unfortunately I am not a fan of. Also oaky and high in tannins, this red was a bit much for me.
