Durius Tempranillo 2003 Haciendas Durius Alto Duero

I have no idea what the above title says or means, but this wine is nice.
The bottle describes it as "Aged in French and American oak casks. Intense colour, ripe fruit flavours, and soft tannins. Warm hints of oaky vanilla."

This is very fruity, but i can't put my finger on the flavour. It is not a strong tasting wine, and has a nice after taste. This was a freebie from the sales meeting at work so i'm not sure of the price. It's a light tasting wine and i would go out of my way to look for if i were buying wine in the shop.

Tempranillo is a grape variety from Spain.
It's considered the star of Spanish grape.
Wines made with only Tempranillo grape are uncommon because it's usually blended with grenache, carignan and, more recently, cabernet sauvignon.

Tempranillo is also used in Portugal as a side component to make Port
