90% Tempranillo; 10% Graciano. Red fruited perfume, earthy with medium plus intensity. Palate at 21 years is developed, balanced and soft with fully integrated tannins. Medium weight with declining strength to its inner core. Not near as good on the 2nd night. This aged overnight and finishes a little sour. I was going to give it 94 points but will now give 90 points. — a month ago

Delightful and not over the edge yet. Dont think it gets better and with too much air it started to show its age. The nose pops out of the glass. It’s a deep fruit/berry aroma. No alcohol on the nose or palate. It has a rich, deep flavor profile, not overly sweet, clean not cloying. I don’t get any greenness or bramble which while sometimes I like it generally don’t so this is really singing for me. — 15 days ago
