Very bright and lively. A surprisingly fresh blue fruit and bramble nose. On the palate, round and almost shrill with a cherry pie note. Very vigorous. Delicious

Sour, woody, dark. Good fruit, but less accommodating than you'd hope. Not the best of this I've tried. Disappointing but not hopeless

Young Tempranillo--pleasant but let it age a few more years.
