Crazy to say but…too young! Balanced and dark but has yet to develop the spice rack subtleness and tannins can still evolve further

We had this at a wine tasting. It was amazing! I would buy this again. Smooth finish, aged well.

Nose is alcohol and black pepper. Taste is sweet cherries, blackberries and tobacco notes. A bit bitter on the end for 11 years old.

Nice wine that packs a small punch at first then mellows. Lots of earthy tones, olives, a bit of spice. Good acidity mid taste and well balanced dark fruit

Wine 3 of the night. Very drinkable with some oakiness, vanilla, berry and dark plum. Soft tannins and balanced acidity. Great value Tempranillo.

Dark berry fruit, with oak, herbs, dry earth, and vanilla. Medium tannins and acidity, seems like it will improve with time, but rich and interesting now.
