Dark ruby purple. Abundant inviting nose of woody blueberry cobbler. Full-bodied palate confirms the nose with a bit of creme fraiche. Fine dusty tannins. Medium acidity. Long, luxurious, black velvet finish. Grilled or roasted meats are the friends of this big, dark Tempranillo. Lamb or game would work particularly well. Drink now through 2029 or beyond.

Full bodied palate gives black cherry, black tea, and cigar box. Fine dusty tannins. Medium acidity. Long, luxurious, black velvet finish. Calls out for grilled or roasted meats. Beef will do, but lamb or game would be sublime. Drink now through 2028 or beyond.

Tempranillo, their low yield top cuvee from bush vines of 90+ years old. Concentrated nose of pencil shavings, dark fruit, spices, chalky tannins and 18 months oak treatment give a long lasting, drying finish. 94RP

Found another bottle, this is such a solid offering from Hacienda Terra D'Uro. Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruit and spice. The fruit is king on the palate, blueberry, blackberry and cherry flavors. Nicely balanced with velvet tannin and acidity. Some pepper spice pops on the finish along with earthy tones. Good value.

What a powerhouse! Deep garnet color and very full bodied while balanced. You can almost taste having a BBQ steak when sipping it...which we are about to start!

Very nice. Concentrated, cherry, thyme, chocolate, smooth but noticible tannins.
