This. Is. Awesome. Oozes complexity. A nose full of barnyard. On the first taste, a mouth full of cherry pie. An hour later, a completely different experience. Elements of cigar box and dark chocolate emerge, with a smoky, velvety finish. So enticing now, but this bad boy is built to go the distance and can go another decade. A WS Top 100.

Truffle on the nose, cherries on the palette. Notes of grilled pork and chocolate and menthol. Built to age. Finish is pipe tobacco leaf and black tea. Amazing.

Quite a treat. Outstanding Tempranillo from Rivera Del Duero. Deep ruby red. Full bodied. Berries all over the place. Good nose and lasting finish. Had it with paella.

Good show. Huge wine. Lovely profile, with great acidity and present tannin. A mouthful, but paired well with bold flavors.

Super easy to drink, this has all the great things you like in Spanish red wines.

I'm a huge fan of Tempranillo's and this one proves me right again. Big mouthful of ripe fruit and warm acidity. This wine will be huge with another couple years.
