Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.

Strong nose of black currants, cherries, sweet strawberries, light oak, chocolates, peppercorn, dark coffee, tobacco leaf, earth, herbs, spices and black pepper.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, chocolates, coffee, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, oak, light vegetables and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy pomegranates.

This is a nice surprise. This 7 year old Tempranillo from Spain is drinking very nicely now.

Nicely balanced and tangy, with a nice mouthfeel. Fruit forward and enjoyable by itself or with food.

This 100% Tempranillo is good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (30 minutes), and shows some tannins. Becomes very tangy on the mid palate, after 2 hours in the decanter.

I paired it with a charcuterie board of cheeses and light appetizers.

14% alcohol by volume.

In love with this tiny winery. Superb Tempranillo-based blend with some Mencía, Garnacha and other yet unidentified indigenous varieties from recently recuperated old vineyards grown at elevations of over 1,000m within the Sabinares Natural Park in Arlanza -a small and relatively unknown appellation halfway between Ribera del Duero and Rioja. Complex and balanced, dusty, pine needles, spice and balsamic notes, liquorice. Only 1002 bottles were filled in 2013 — 17 days ago

Tempranillo, but that’s where the similarity to rioja ends. Pure dark berry fruits and earthy forest floor notes with not a hint of oak treatment. — 17 days ago

Great QPR here with thick and jammy berry notes followed with a bit of freshness then a long sweet finish. — 11 days ago

Dark, rich forest berries. Plum. Black tea. Juicy mouthfeel, not overripe. Blackberry, steeped tea, and saddle leather. Touch of heat then dry tannin with a dusty finish. In a very nice place right now, but has several years left. — 10 days ago

Brambly blueberry and blackberry fruit compote with some cocoa on the finish. Low acidity and medium body. Juicy and food friendly. Holding up quite well. — 4 days ago

Monthly WTF group recap. Theme this month was “bring something special”. Normally we taste all of the wines blind, but we decided to do a relaxed night with amazing wines at a great restaurant. Spectacular evening!


What a treat this will be in 10yrs! Very youthful right now. I don’t know how the grapes are used here, but it was reminiscent of whole cluster Pinot. Similarities to the Antica Terra Angelical wine but more spice and denser core. Lifted and energetic profile. Smoked and slightly bloodied with iron and smoky beef jerky. The finish showed tart mulberries and baked black cherries. Oak wasn’t very noticeable. Hold. — 7 days ago

Muy buen ribera, tempranillo, potente,, fruta roja. Una buena elección, hay muchos riberas roble, con más nombre, que se quedan muy por debajo. — 17 hours ago
