2009 belebula tempranillo

2009 belebula tempranillo

$20

Hunter valley

Bottle number 3221.

Appearing purple, this is actually a cloudy crimson. Obvious raspberry lolly nose with some savoury spicy notes.

I don't expect much from this one as the hunter is not known for tempranillos. The nose implies a fruit driven cordial and a taste doesn't contradict. Mostly lolly rasberries and strawberry, some sour cherry. Not true to the varietal but still pleasant.

Interestingly much better with dark chocolate as some toastiness comes out. medium chewy fruit finish but better with food...choose the food wisely...

65 points
