This is a really beautiful food wine and drinking wine. Spicy, earthy, rich in fruit, and beautifully balanced. This wine has great aging potential. It can be drunk now in 2013 or for the next 10 years easily. Lovely.

Deep Ruby Red. Aromas of red fruit, spice and earthy notes. Ripe Berry and Cherry fruits with pepper spice. Firm tannins that opened quickly. Ending had good length, well balanced, about at its peak.

Rioja from neighbor with house in S Spain. Elegant and well made but no show stopper.

Savory and delicate. Enjoyable today. Fruit fades with extended air time.

A youthful 05, very concentrated with fruit, tannin, and sweet oak. Nice graphite note. Pairs well with a 14 month Manchego

I thought the reserva would be better. It is, but still not great.

Utterly boring... Where's the fruit? Where's the structure? Unripe acidity - check...
