2011 Marques de Tezona Shiraz

marques shirazThe least impressive of the Marques de Tezona wines I’ve tasted revently but if you factor in the price it’s hardly a poor proposition….or a bad wine. Contains 10% Tempranillo and 5% Grenache

Sweetly spiced, dilute black and red fruits with a plum baseline. Earthy, savoury edges and unfinessed but satisfying grainy tannin. Around medium-bodied. Peters out a bit on the back-palate and through the finish. It will suit some purposes but I’d probably suggest you start on the Tempranillo first and see if that suits your tastes. 87
