Very solid. Needs air Classic Raul style, feels like some stem inclusion, so peppery and lots of red fruits. Super classic and should age well, though just medium bodied. — 6 days ago

Best bottle I've cracked in some time. Even the less savvy wine drinkers at dinner commented on its complexity and ability to pair w food. I did not decant or let it breathe, just pop and pour. Delicious w Olde Salt oysters from the Chesapeake Bay. — 12 days ago

Tasted like tempranillo, but a little hot with alcohol and a bit rugged with tannins. I think there is better value in tempranillo from Spain. — 12 days ago

Vibrant ruby/purple. Crushed blackberry nose. Distracting level of CO2 on palate entry. Tasty, not very complex, may develop in bottle, but concerned about the CO2 which doesn't dissipate with a decant. — a month ago
