Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Found another bottle (about a year after I tasted the first). Deep Ruby with dark fruit aromas and spice notes. On the palate ripe fruit fLavors of black cherry, blackberry and plum. Fine grain tannins, more approachable, lively acidity, medium finish ending with pepper spice. Good value.

Too much of a bite and slightly peppery.

Deep red color with dark fruit and spice aromas. Flavors of dark black fruits, black cherry, blackberry and ripe plum. The finish has plenty of acidity and pepper spices. Fine grain tannins that I would suggest a decant before enjoying. Finishes about medium in length. Good value.

Notes of red fruits. Medium bodied with medium acidity. Short term. A quality quaffer.

Fantastic for the price IMO. Strong Cherry, chocolate, oak on the nose. Oaky in flavor with strong tannins, a slight burn of alcohol but overall a strong choice.

Light, well balanced Tempranillo. Almost light Malbec.

I have enjoyed this before, but this vintage is not doing it for me. May need more time in the bottle, might also just be a bit sharp and fusty for me

Peppery and tart, I've enjoyed a few spanish reds very much, this was not one of them.

Medium bodied with a lot of spice. Great with cheese (in particular a peppery mornay sauce is what I had it with!). Nice dinner wine.
