Tasting- 2010 Coreto Tinto

Name: Coreto Tinto 2010
Variety: Tinto
Country: Portugal (Lisboa Region)
Price: $6.95
Vintage Cellar Review: Despite its light touch, this is fruity and full, with its blackberry fruit
dominating the warm spice note and acidity. Soft tannins keep the
wine together.

The smell was very pungent, but that might just be my normal aversion to red wine. I never drink red wine, so of course I was hesitant to drink it, because every time I drink reds it doesn't taste good to me. But this red wine was really pleasant to drink! I always said that red wines just tasted like old.... which I know isn't a professional critique, but you get what I'm saying right?..... right? This wine was sweeter and had a nice fruity taste too, I didn't pick up on a spice finish though. But this was a big step for me because it was the first red wine that I would go back and drink on my own accord.
