WTN: A Spanish Wine I like: For Victor and David B.

The wine is from Altavins in the Terra Alta. They call it Tempus. It is listed at 14% alcohol. It holds the heat pretty well in my book. Others may find it a little over the top. I didn't check the website to see the varieties. It is a BIG wine which we had with a steak. It stood up well with nice strawbeery and cherry flavors dominating. I got some notes of milk chocolate and a little leather or earthiness too. All in all not bad for my $14.99. So what style am I enjoying? My suspicion is that this is international, but my wife loved it and at fifteen bones I can't complain too much.
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
