Lovely nose of herbs and violets. Dark cherry fruit flavors with hints of tobacco and leather. Beautiful soft tannins and velvety texture. This wine has aged pretty well, but it is past its peak. Thank You Ron B! — 5 years ago

Bought this at Jumbo on a whim. Don't have many other tempranillos to compare it with. Stronger than it seems. Good with meat — 6 years ago

This was fairly dry but still had good acidity behind it. Full bodied and rich in berry flavors, this is a good wine for a nice meal or a chilly day. — 5 years ago

A few years ago Spanish wine was a total bargain. Then they figured out they could send us junk. I stopped buying. But in desperation recently I got this and was surprised. Really pretty good and both varietals are very present. Even better after a day, showing some interesting depth. Maybe cheapie Spanish wines are back to being bargains. — 7 years ago

The estate dates back to the Crusades, and Scottish navigator, George Smith, the owner in the 18th century. He was followed by M. Duffour-Dubergier, Mayor of Bordeaux, and then Louis Eschenauer, a famous wine shipper. In 1990, Daniel and Florence Cathiard now own the estate. Dark plum red with dark berry fruit aromas, herb and spice from young Cab vines. On the palate complex sweet black fruit flavors and cacao notes. Firm tannins, rich and full, lingering, mineral ending, unlike the ‘10 wait a few years. — 8 years ago

El Coto Rioja Rosado... 90% Tempranillo 10% Garnacha. Chilled on a hot summer evening and served alongside chicken-celery-lemon-garlic-zucchini over chunky pasta. Threw some of the same wine into the recipe. Delicious, refreshing, and a good complement to the Mediterranean style dish. — 5 years ago

Beautifully opened. Spicy head but mild flavorful taste. A little heavy on the alcohol until it opened. — 8 years ago
