Delicious wine, not sweet but you can taste the strawberry & cherry. Very good acid content keeps it grounded.

Something is off with this. A bit tart/sour , which distracts from anything else. A little cloudy. Lots of raspberry. Is this really Tempranillo...? No thanks

This is a value bottling from an elite appellation. Straw, hay, clay, dust, thyme, verbana, delicious fruit. Unfortunately at this price point Delectable is unreliable, but this is quite good.

Old world clay/straw funk right out the bottle opens way to lush overripe dark red fruit. Just a few more minutes...just a few more smells...just a few more sips...repeat
