Tasting - El Cortijillo

Name: El Cortijillo 
Grape Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain 
Year: 2014
Price: $9...Sale $5.95
Store Review: Bright purple. High-pitched red berry and floral scents display good clarity and a hint of cracked pepper. Shows a touch of jamminess to its pliant black raspberry and cherry compote flavors, with a spicy quality adding vibrancy. Finishes with good focus and no obvious tannins, leaving a sweet berry note behind.
My Review: This wine had hints of caramel on the nose. It smelled creamy-vanilla like. My friend thought it smelt like grahm-crackers which I would agree with. There were noticeable tannins when I tasted it but it had a sweet after taste. 

*Did not have with food
