Concentrated aromas of vanilla, smoke, and leather. Savory in the mouth with meaty tannins and medium acidity. Decent length with a dark chocolate finish! The 2011 is probably in it’s prime for drinking now, But given the pronounced tannins it could be good for some more years to come. Overall quite decent.

Vintage 2009 - Tempranillo, 14 months barrique, 24 months bottle. Developed color, spicy smell with underlying minerals, smooth taste, reliable glass of wine without wow factor, tasty nonetheless

Free wine at La Fabrica, San Sebastián, but upgraded to this which is not so bad. In a holiday mood...

Very uninspiring stuff. Rather dull, mute black fruit on the nose, blackcurrant & liquorice. Sticky tannin with rather limp fruit
