Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Tempranillo aged for 11 months in French oak. Deep Ruby color with aromas of fruit, earthy and spicy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with cedar, tobacco, leather and spice. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, tobacco, cedar and earthy mineral character. — a month ago

Same restaurant…same wine…haven’t found a better bottle at 19€ from a restaurant wine list in the area. They just serve their red bottles too cold. At Venta La Choza restaurant. — 2 years ago

Primarily Tempranillo with some Graciano and Mazuelo blended in. Deep ruby color with a garnet rim. Intense black fruit aromas, leather and baking spices. Flavors of blackberry, black plum, baker’s chocolate, cinnamon and tobacco. Nice cedar, dill and vanilla notes on the long and lasting finish. Smooth and very well rounded tannins. Great balance of oak, acidity and alcohol. Full bodied. Fresh, well structured and complex. — a month ago

2012 vintage. Smooth throughout with a big cherry component. Not exciting but well made. Woodsy on the nose and on the finish. May just be transitioning. — 3 years ago

I pick up a lot of herbal influence along with some terrific strawberry and cherry aromas. The fruit plays large on the palate, too. There is a hint of pepper in the sip. Acidity is fresh, nearly ripping, and the finish is all about the red fruit — 5 years ago
