Fairly viscous and color is deep purple; dark fruits, hint of VA, elegant oak on the nose; highly structured almost chewy tannins that overtake the mid and end of the experience, but some satisfying flavors like coffe and anis linger on the finish.

Astonishing Tempranillo. Spicy, round, tobacco, vanilla, leather, long finish.

Wonderful colors. And a nice nose. But the flavors are rather muted, even the next day. It was ok. 17.95 at lawc.

Telmo Rodriguez,Gago G, from Toro, Spain. 2017 vintage. Made of Tinta de Toro (local Tempernillo)and Albiño Mayor. Brilliant red color, delicate nose of light dill, black fruits and vanilla notes. Good structure, balanced, chewy. Went well with the Sinta steak.

Sweet red fruit and vanilla. Nice modern Tempranillo. Medium plus body and medium acidity.

On opening, the nose was really interesting. Some definite barrel funk, pepper, spice, Cassis and cherry. After an hour or so the funk blew off and the fruit become more forward. An awesome palate, medium to full bodied, lots of black fruits. Amazingly long finish with plenty of tannin left to go another 5 years.

Way too hot, too much alcohol, not much room for anything else, like flavor.
