Basic crianza! Dusty red fruits. Nothing crazy going on here either way. Better with a slight chill.

Almost like it. This has a medium ruby colour. The wine smells young despite its age, of ripe red fruit mainly with light oak and dust as well. On the palate the wine is dry, light bodied, medium alcohol, and high acidity. Light intensity, with slight red fruit, light but abrasive tannins and a quick finish. This is an acceptable wine. Aeration and decanting certainly helps.

Crisp Easy Oaky, lightly smoked, toasted vanilla, ripe strawberry fruit, herbs, leather, licorice and tobacco… Crianza full package at this price point ??? Mind blowing … This mature Tempranillo doesn’t show his age at all … This is the Cristiano Ronaldo of Wines.

Nose is raspberry and blackberry. On the palate, blackberry, dark cherry, cooked strawberry, rhubarb, cinnamon, clove, and oak with hints of leather and tobacco. Medium tannins, high alcohol, and high acid. A lot of depth for an inexpensive crianza.

A little too bold for us. No sweetness. Eating alongside Domino’s may not have helped.

Balanced and nice blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha, sweet buy just to impress when tasting a juicy red grilled beef sirloin. Some fruity flavors, also from red fruits. It is a very good table wine.

Costco, $12

Dark ruby, quite opaque. Dusty wood and fruit on the nose. Medium body, maybe a touch too acidic and just enough tannins. Kind of a savory fruit, reminds me of fruit punch as a kid as far as flavor goes but not in sweetness, it's actually quite dry. Keep tasting fruit punch in a good way and very happy for the price, although Costco probably has it cheaper than it usually is, rating it at the $12 I spent though.

В нос бьёт термоядерная черная смородина (с пописками), на вкус сухо и не хватает какого-то основного тона, как будто пусто и водянисто. Странное какое-то.
