Running with Bulls 2010

Australia Tempranillo. With a name like that, you know you have an Aussie wine. How would the royal grape of Spain perform down under? Not fantastic I'm afraid. Distinct tempranillo scent of incense and a hot alcoholic nose hits you on first sniff, not sublime or interesting. Structure and acids are all over the place, some blackcurrants peeking through but overwhelmed by the plucky tannins and astringency . Saving grace - grew rounder w air, q enjoyable texture and finish was not too bad. Went well w rack of ribs in a Brisbane joint, but credit goes to the excellent ribs. Definitely need food (7.0/10).
