Tasting - "Finca Del Castillo"

Name: Finca del Castillo
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year:2011
Price: $4.95
Shop/wine critic/winery review: Rooty, spicy and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spic flavors. Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato.
Your review: This wine smelled very earthy and was a deep red in color. It smelled of spices and tasted somewhat mossy. I really liked this red wine and want to try this with a meat. It was not tart.
Did not have food with the wine.
