Worth waiting for. Smooth, full flavored, elegant. Berries and mild tannins. Decanted for about 60 minutes. Better yet with more time in glass. A special Valentines Day treat. — 15 days ago

This is supposedly 97% Garnacha, not Tempranillo. Wonderfully smooth and flavorful. Best Christmas wine so far. Started with $10 Don David, and now up to this for $20. Tonight a big jump to $60 CDP! — 2 months ago
