Running With Bulls Tempranillo 2008

Barossa, South Australia. Tempranillo. 13.5%. Screwcap. Approx $A18

Vibrant and attractive, this is a very clever and compellingly priced wine. Dried herbs and wilted leaf, this gives the impression of warmth, scorched earth and skid marks. Lovely and mouth filling, this is bold and inky, there is a broad brush of tannins and a suggestion of raisins. 90. Now - 2013.

I don't know about the wine, but in July 1998 I too was one of those fool hardy backpackers to done the red sache and run with the bulls in the streets of Pamplona. Geez they were big and geez they stank - the bulls were big also!!
