The wine is dark, inky, in fact. On the nose, I get strong black plums and blackberries, with a hint of blueberries. There is an abundance of oak spice, so it’s loaded with vanilla-laced tobacco, allspice and licorice. The palate is full, too. Big in the mouth, with huge tannins and fruit for days, the flavors also tend toward the dark side of the fruit spectrum. Oak is present and becomes more pronounced late in the sip and into the finish.

Exceedingly good. Lots of depth for a Temp with a lovely cranberry nose. Lush at the beginning with cherry and currant, then the tannins hit hard. Leather and clove. I don't believe I have a more well-Rounded Tempranillo.
