I'm on the fence with this. It is showing its age with a hint of barnyard to the dried red fruit aromas. On the palate it is foursquare lacks focus a product of the vintage rather than winemaking.

Very dark purple colour with a surprisingly gentle, yet slightly peppery, blackberry bouquet. Relatively light-bodied, this has a quite straightforward dark berry taste with again a hint of peppery warmth. A little sour so needs food ideally. Unobjectionable but somewhat forgettable unfortunately.

Hint of barnyard that grows into intense licorice on the nose. Less bite and more complex than usual Tempranillo, but opened nicely with food pairing. A just fine choice for the price.

Brilliant wine. One of my favourites. Had it with a full snapper, soy/chili/lime glaze. Probably too heavy for the fish. But still amazing.
