12 Linajes Reserva Tempranillo

This is excellent! It's nice to be able to buy a well-cellared wine. Cedar, spice, clove, and cherry tobacco nose. Medium weight, perfect medium acidity, medium plus alcohol. Spearmint starts to emerge at the end. Cherry dominates the finish which is long and well balanced with soft fully resolved tannins. The wine is ready now. Drink up and enjoy.

This is a very tasty Tempranillo from Ribera Del Duero. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel. Tangy and interesting.

This 9 year old is showing a very nice nose now. Nicely balanced and good by itself or with food.

Very enjoyable now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 3 to 5 years. Showing a lot of fruits still. Loved the nose here.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 90 minutes in a decanter, when tannins and structure show up.

2017. Rich and full bodied. This is a hearty wine to go with red meats and flavorful cheeses.

Fantastic Tempranillo. Just a gem of a find.

Paired well with spicy meatloaf. $20 Costco

Excellent Ribera del Duero. 2012 vintage in November 2020. Bold red with flavorful nose. Compares favorably with any high end full bodied wine. Tannins are just right and pares well with roasted red meat

Yum!!

Delicious. Just enough acidity, slightly fruity. Great with food, as a hostess gift, or nice sipping with friends.

Beautiful Tempranillo Good tannins. Would prob. Wait about 5 years to drink again. Great value at Costco.
