Very dark crimson red in color. The nose is very delightful with dark juicy ripe black plum, black raspberries and hints of vanilla. This Is one expressive Tempranillo from 70 year old vines of Ribera del Duero. The juicy plum continues through to the palate and full in the mouth. At three years old the balance is pronounced. Smooth tannins and a good chalky dryness. There are good soil notes with subtle oak tones on the backend. I am pleasantly at how well made this wine is. It will only improve with age.

100% Tempranillo aged in a mix of French and American oak. 60 + year old vines from La Horra in Ribera del Duero. Amazing value.

Xmas eve dinner. Potent attack, dark plumbs, some grip. Not memorable but not bad either. Never like those balloon style restaurant glasses, prob stripped it of alot of its character.

Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. Fermented in a mix of oak and steel. Fresh, juicy, tons of fun.

Pay $20 for the bottle at Monk’s in Fort Lauderdale. 100% Tempranillo. Nice, rich flavor with a bit of space at the end. Worth getting again.
