Review of Torres Gran Sangre de Toro Reserva 2002

Torres Gran Sangre de Toro Reserva 2002

Yummy big intense Spanish wine with blackberry and spice aromas.

When it comes to red wine, I usually opt for a Rioja or Shiraz. Normally I’m not particularly enamoured with spicy tones preferring lighter reds. However, I am loving this wine.

Its a deep red to purple colour, intense flavour but very smooth. Its a blend containing Granacha Tinta, Carinena and Syrah grapes which is then aged in oak.

It has a blackberry/redcurrant flavour with spice overtones, but its not overpowering.

I bought it at approximately €13 from Tesco.
