This a full bodied wine. Great with food. Subsequent blends post 2014 use more Grenache and less Syrah and I did like as much. Great with food — 7 years ago

100% Pedro Ximenez
Medium straw yellow.

Beautiful unique bouquet of roasted almond, sour dough, and cashew nut. Surprisingly fruity, citrus note (more lemon/lime than tangerine).

On the palate, this is a refreshing wine. Briny, zesty, and herbal.

It goes so well with all kinds of food. Real underrated food wine. Most importantly, I popped this bottle about 7 months ago and I am still drinking it today. Amazingly long lasting. 90. — 8 years ago

You wish you could be drinking this wine at a bus stop! Manuel Manzaneque Mil Cepas vino de la teirra de Castilla 2014. Profound, intense red from a plot of 1000, 35 year old vines planted on sandy soils in eastern Mancha. Amazing w Cuban food and good company including the winemaker.

Smooth and definitely drinks like an expensive wine. Has a great nose and is velvety and complex. Goes well with rich italian food or on its own. Finishes crisp and very very dry. Love that. Could have been a 9.5 but due to $25 price it is a 9.00. — 9 years ago

Still has so much more to go... medium body with signature leather, earth, and tobacco you would expect from a Gran Reserva but still nice fruit showing... you will appreciate it more as a food wine! — 9 years ago

Deep scarlet violet glass with translucent purple rim. Deep nose of blackberry, blueberry, violets, cassis, anise, pencil shaving, tobacco and hints of cinnamon & vanilla. On the palate, a dry acid of medium body opens to black fruits, spice box, and black pepper. Medium tannins hold grip for a medium long dry cassis filled peppery/chalky finish. Balanced but slightly shifted to the nose with good structure. Good value at $16.98 USD for rich food/red meats accompaniment. — 9 years ago

Purple Violet glass with a translucent scarlet Violet rim. Medium nose of blackberry, tobacco, vanilla, blueberry, loam, and smoke. On the palate, the sharp young tannins charge in with a nice acidic tartness of the berries, cherry, and a hint of pomegranate. Tannins drive a nice long finish where tartness meets a little chocolate. This wine is fair value now at $19.98 but should be fantastic 3 years from now. Still great now with steak or rich food. — 10 years ago

next to the great Gran Cru Rangen a Riesling that stands the test of time and is both balaced and powerful and a great food wine — 12 years ago
