Shop Review: This wine has a brick red color with a bouquet of red raspberries, spice and white pepper. The palate is incredibly concentrated and rich. The modern styles of Garnacha in Spain are continuously being perceived worldwide as wines of extraordinarily good quality. This wine is fruity, juicy and shows a great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness. Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses etc (Vintage Cellar).
Personal Review: The Tres Ojos Garnacha had an extremely strange nose that I wasn’t a fan of. Initially, it reminded me of burnt plastic. On a second take, it smelled more almondy and spiced. The taste of it matched this in the fact that it was spiced, however, it also strangly had a bit of tart to it? This wine was just too much for me to take in at once, and I could not pick out anything that I really enjoyed about it. I was overall not pleased.
