Just an amazing bottle. Of course you always have that Spanish iodine finish but full of purple fruit and depth. — a month ago

Bought at Waitrose (I think). Punches well above its weight. Smooth, notes of black current and tobacco but not overpowering. Very easy drinking but complex — 2 months ago

Expressive nose of dark fruit, syrah fighting over Tempranillo. Dark, blackberries and liquorice, ripe dark cherries, pencil lead, chocolate. Fine tannins, I feel the alcohol, that dominates freshness, must be close to 15. Solid dark, great wine yet I miss freshness. — 3 months ago

[Tasted on November 25, 2023 at Home with Rachel]

2011 was a warm vintage and the wine is bottled at 15.5% ABV. Inky color. Ripe blackberry, plum and dark cherry fruit, with violet, minerality, smoke, clove and leather. Full bodied and juicy. — 6 months ago

Blend of 83% Tempranillo, 9% Graciano, 6% Mazuelo (Cariñena) and 2% Garnacha, grapes and various plots fermented separately, aged for 20 months in American oak, then blended. Deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe black fruits and floral spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and plum with notes of leather, vanilla and oaky notes. Fine tannins, long finish, lively acidity ending with fruit, sweet oak and spice. Nice! — 2 months ago

No notes. Who needs notes for an old friend? Always delish. Perhaps missing some of its usual tension, which makes me wonder if this was a warm vintage. — 2 months ago

Still intact. But it’s too ashy and bitter for me.

Better balance and more suppleness on day 2.

Un tempranillo mezcla de rioja. este es mi tercero tempranillo desde rioja. espero sentirme un caballero. first scent was coke (cola) on the cork. hue is extremely dark. No clarity much turbidity in broad daylight. slight note of sweet cherry. much barrel and deep tannic tones of turbulence i find terrific. sour cherry on the tongue. Really dazzling deep wine brings the whole picnic and woodsy fairytale all together #tempranilloblend — 2 months ago
