Very bold on the beginning of the taste, the Tempranillo really shines through, then the flavors balance out for a nice moderately tannic ending. Very apparent old world style, being on the funky side of fruity. Very approachable and oaky with a rounded but spicy finish.

Not the fruit forward table wine I was expecting. The age on this bottle has transformed it. Blend of Tempranillo and Graciano. Dark ruby color with a brickish rim. Aromas and flavors of dried red berries, leather and earth. Hints of coconut and oak on the long finish. Supple, with very gentle tannins. Thank you for sharing, Ron B!

dull, flat finish, smells like acrylic. No idea who rated this before but the 2016 is either a bad year or this swill is made for cooking
