I had the 2012 vintage. Drank May 2018. I thought it was very drinkable, but one more year in the bottle will improve it even more. Very fruit forward with little wood influence. Sour cherry on the finish. Good length. I liked it. We had it with grilled striploin steak which it was a good compliment to.

2012. Dark color. Rich dark fruit aroma. Smooth and balanced flavor. Dry and oaky with moderate tannins. Nice finish. Good with pasta, marinara and meatballs. Good with clementines and dark chocolate.

2012 vintage bought at Costco. Somewhat subdued but full body. Less Tempranillo qualities than I would expect but very nice wine for the money. May improve with age but may not have enough fruit to last

noise: good, wild berries, subtle, complex and classic
taste: first, mild and classic; then fuller and more classic
paired well with cheese, no marriage with pork.
