Dark. Like the flesh of a Bing cherry. Aroma is fresh. Red berry. Very fresh in the mouth still too. Tart, tanninic and forest-y. There is this unique Tempranillo flavor in this. Reminds me of Spanish stuff.

Looks like dark and deep red wine. Smells funky. Flint, cooking blackberries, potpourri, and wet soil. Flavors are smooth, ripe and true to the Temp. Balance is nice. Smoked meats, herbs, cherries, and membrillo quince paste. Still bites hard with tannins on the way out. Excellent age-able Tempranillo. I waited 6 years, it could last 10-20.

Middle of the road. Very light to me, lacks finish. Certainly not bad though.
