Tasting - Bitch Grenache

Bitch Grenache
Name:
Bitch Grenache
Variety: Grenache
Region: Aragon
Country: Spain
Year: 2020
Price: $14

Online Notes: "Dark cherry and raspberry aromas are underpinned with spicy, peppery notes with hints of anise. Displays extraordinary natural acid balance, even at elevated ripeness levels. Conveys vibrant, juicy fruit with a very soft, sweet-fruited palate structure." [TotalWine.com]

Wine Folly Notes: I got notes of plum and leather, but none of
the other primary flavors mentioned. I also noted the medium body and slight sweetness. Wine Folly recommends serving at 60-68 F, so I tried slightly chilling it before trying it but left it in the fridge too long so it was cooler than it probably should have been. [WineFolly.com]

My Notes: I was excited to try this wine since online reviews were positive and mentioned slight sweetness and medium body. However, I was disappointed with the level of sweetness when trying it as it did not meet my expectations, which might've been because I tried the extremely sweet Busy Bee Moscato before this one. I noted cherry and blackberry aromas, but couldn't place specific tastes beyond the medium body and primary flavors mentioned on Wine Folly.
