100% Tempranillo, deep Ruby with aromas of stewed fruits, coffee and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of overripe plums and currants with leather and earthy forest floor notes. Wild acidity, harsh tannins, short finish ending with earthy fruit and oaky notes. Not a Fav, would pass on this one!

Very pleasant, fruity and a little spicy. Rather muted when first opened. Got better on 2nd night. Still like the Marques the Riscal better. Gift from Sasha.

Legs are gorgeous, 10/10. Smells like sweet jam! Currants and raisins and cherries and vanilla on the nose. Tastes so smooth and there's just a hint of spice at the end. Yes!!

Good wine but not as smooth as I expected it to be.
