Tar & Roses Tempranillo 2017

Given they specialise in Mediterranean varieties, it’s no wonder Tar & Roses have won so many awards, including Top Gold and two Trophies at the 2017 Victorian Wine Show.
 
In the glass: Strikingly dense red.
On the nose: An inky powerhouse of black cherry cola, anise and liquorice.
On the palate: Deluxe with super-ripe, inky black fruits delivering velvety power and immense tannin depth. An iron fist in a velvet glove. A delicious gentle giant!
