Really, really unimpressed with this. I had high hopes but it's shrill and disjointed. Really reductive. Thin and bleh.

Reduced on opening. After blowed off, interesting. More like an old old school leathery Carignan from Southern France than any Tempranillo I have had. What fruit was there is dark. I like this rustic wine with roast chicken.
Day 2 fruit sneaking.out a.bit, like this wine, not for people.who wnt lots of fruit.

Tristan's pick... Definitely needs some time to breathe. Tastes better than it smells.
