Tandem Navarra Ars Nova 2004

A new import from Spain, this red made from a blend of 56% Tempranillo, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot opened to a savory bouquet of berries, licorice, fennel, olives and some spice. On the palate there was weight, but not overly done, with some nice fruits and slightly rustic tannins. Good length and dry finish made this wine quite enjoyable and modern in style. Decent value at $19.
50+4+12+17+7 = 90/100
