Comenge El Origen Tempranillo 2020

Deep ruby in the glass, this wine has a bouquet of black cherry, fennel pollen and olive tapenade. Brawny tannins coat the tongue and gums and wander off to leave behind flavors of Simka plum, black currant, bittersweet chocolate, fennel seed and dried sage. The enduring finish is marked with a note of Black Forest cake. [Drink into mid-2030s.] (Mike DeSimone,wineenthusiast.com,Sept. 1, 2024)
