Tasting Notes - Liebich Tempt Tempranillo Blend 2003 (Recommended)

The individual components of this wine were tasted 6 months ago and were bloody impressive, to say the least. 73% temp sourced from 5 year old vines, the balance evenly split between the PV and the merlot. Very dark red in the glass with faint purple tinges. Lively fruity nose; some spice, cinnamon and a lovely gamey streak underpinning the fruit. Quite similar in the mouth with some more grainy spice, funky notes and a firm tannic finish. The fruit gets a little shy on the finish but this is very young and needs 12 months. Upon reflection the gamey notes could be a brett trait (think dirty funky pinot) but it doesn't harm the wine.
