Abrazo de Toro Syrah 2007

Produced and bottled by : Covinca S. Coop Longares, Spain. Carinena Denominacion de Origen. 13.5%
Imported by: Evaki, Inc. San Luis Obisbo, CA. www.axialvinos.com

Smokey, rich nose. Nothing sweet there (little leather perhaps). Lovely deep-pink-edged crimson color. Thin and watery on the tongue. Fresh, young. Has the pucker-y acid, smoke and camphour many Spanish wines are known for, but lacks the strong flavors of my favorite Syrahs. Certainly a quaffable Spaniard, but not a particularly "interesting" Syrah.
