Tasting- Ilurce

Name: Ilurce
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Year: 2008
Price: Normally 14 dollars
The Winery Review: Dark purple. Zesty, youthfully medicinal aromas of dark berries, licorice and cracked pepper, Juicy and fresh, with smooth texture and sweet cherry and spice flavors framed by dusty tannins.  Finishes with a suggestion of slightly roasted fruits and good clinging persistence. Delivers a lot of power and richness for money
My Review:   The Ilurce had a floral smell along with an alcohol smell.  It had a ok dry bitter taste.  I would not say this was one of my favorites but it was ok.  I would probably give this one a 4 out of 10.
