Chalky, with roasted cranberry preserve, very dry, body is pretty tame but just enough to hold its own…hmm…not sure what to think, not huge mid palate but it’s very approachable and lovely nose. I like it! Much better than the Brunello di montalcino sitting next to it which is nice but too much of an acid bomb. Thanks Bro for sharing!

Meat juice, cigar, menthol, spices and I'm not sensing any fruit in there. The palate shows a huge acid backbone which tends to make it a tiny bit unbalanced if you drink it for itself. It calls for food. There are some tangy red forest fruits all along the palate. A good width with some grip, some weight and matter too. Very harsh tannins kick in in the middle which dry everything up before a long finish with those same red forest berries and a tiny bit of salt. I'll let it breathe for another hour to see if it settles but it's an enraged mustang running in the desert right now.

Classic Tempranillo that could go on for years and years! Still great structure and tannic composition, tobacco and cherry!

Light body for a rioja bit still flavorful. Easy drinking. Will buy again.

This is exceptionally fruity for a Tempranillo, with tannins in the wings, and a dry finish.
