Stinky seaweed on top of dried cranberry on the nose. Some tertiary notes are emerging on the palate, but out of balance and not integrated. Hot alc and tannins are thin and sharp. Not enough fruit to improve. Drink em if you got em.

The oak is front and center on this Temp, but not in a bad way. Vanilla and just a hint of spice.

Rich and opulent, black fruits and vanilla. A wine for Parker's palate.

Plum, blueberry, fig, tobacco, espresso, and warm spices. Dense and concentrated on the palate, with fresh acidity like cool mountain stream. Polished tannins.
One of my favorite bodegas from RdD.
