Shop Review: 88 points- Robert Parker. "The 2012 Tres Ojos Garnacha contains 15% tempranillo (I wonder why) and unoaked cuvee of 200, 000 bottles that matures in vat for at least sevent 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: This wine was a bit funky to me but maybe my nose was just off. To me it smelled a bit skunky, but not in a way where I thought it had gone bad. To me it also was a bit muddy with some black currant smell. To me it tasted a lot better then it smelled! It was dry on the mid palate with a taste of rock and maybe a super sour blackberry.
I did not try this wine with food.
