Merry Christmas Everyone! Tonight I have opened a Tempranillo from Spain. Upon first opening there was alcohol a plenty. I let it set for 30 minutes and that alcohol blew off pretty well. The aromas I am getting are those of stewed prunes, herbal notes, tobacco, and vanilla. On the palate I get plum, black cherry, and tobacco. This is definitely a full bodied wine with a smooth mouth feel, medium + tannin, and medium acidity. A very nice Tempranillo and I only paid $24.99. Please have a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!

Nice Rioja with a bite, but smooth. Peppery, black cherry. Nice before food. Excellent with food.

Dark cherry, currants, and earth on the nose. On the palat hints of black cherry, currant and spice with a nice finish of vanilla and cherry.
