Wine review: 88 points – Robert Parker
The 2012 Tres Ojos Garnacha contains 15% Tempranillo (I wonder why), and unoaked cuvée of 200,000 bottles that matures in vat for at least seven months before bottling. What I tasted was a very honest, fresh and fruit-driven red with aromas of cherries, garrigue and thyme with a medium-bodied palate, some weight and tannins that would do better with food. This is a red that sells for a song.
My review: Quite an earthy wine. My style! On the nose shone hints of wood, dark chocolate, rubber, and tobacco. A slightly dry body with coffee and mildly complex fruit flavors.
