Gorgeous Gran Reserva tasting fresh and youthful with an abundance of berries and vanilla bean. Granular tannins create expressive texture that isn’t too firm to drink on its own but would be stellar with red meat.
Air was kind. Alcohol in check. Superb.

A really well balanced wine. 80% Tempranillo. The blending grapes really softened the total package. Keeper.

Very tannic, not a ton of fruit. This bottle at least seems in an awkward stage

Big complexity. Tobacco leaf, prune, smoke and cooked raspberries. Still plenty of freshness with black cherry and violets. Good balance. Beautiful long finish with seamless oak integration and ripe tannins. It’s awesome!

Cigar box, leather, blackberry, black cherry, a bit gamy. Moderate tannins, higher acidity and medium bodied.
