El Coto Rosado 2012 DOC

Variety: 50% Tempranillo, 50% Grenache
Country of origin: Spain
Wine appellation: Rioja
Vintage: 2012
Alcohol content: 13.0%
Color: salmon pink
Bouquet: overripe strawberries, to my surprise hint of coffee
Taste: medium body, rounder style, white cherries, strawberries, lower acidity, hint of spiciness, medium finish
Overall score: 3+7+10+5+5=80
Price: CZK 140
Stopper: cork
I did not like the coffee element in the nose and lower acidity and more roundness in the taste profile.  There are far better roses for the same price fro m Moravia.
