Opera Prima Review: This pleasant Mediterranean wine is made from
Tempranillo grapes. Heady scent in red
fruits, this fresh-young, smooth and fruity wine, ready to drink, will impress
your mouth in every sip. Best suit with
red meat, stews, fish and creamy cow milk cheeses.
My Review: After trying a couple other tempranillos that I
enjoyed, I am really looking forward to this one! I’m thinking that I may have
found my wine variety! This wine has a
nice really dark color that is burgundy and purple. It doesn’t have too much smell to it, maybe a
little spice. It tastes a little harsh,
I don’t get too much fruit, so I am going to let it sit for a little while. Though the label says “ready to drink” I
think this wine definitely benefitted from sitting out for a few hours. I tastes like when you eat a raspberry and
you have those little bits of seeds in your
mouth and you chew them. It is a
little bitter, but raspberry-blackberry and cherry as well. It is spicy and tastes a little dirty (ground
dirt, not filth dirt). I do like it, but
I have tried other types of Tempranillo that I preferred.
