April 12, 2019 - Corked
March 30, 2018 - Thankfully, my second bottle is not corked. Medium (+) ruby color. Aromas of black fruit, earth, light funk, fresh herbs, and a little paint thinner (ethyl acetate?? What's going on with this producer?). Very subtle on that last one and not too detracting or concerned on my end. Medium body, acid, and finish, with an easy, forward and fruity constitution—this is clearly not intended as a "serious" wine, but rather a crowd pleasing, drinkable one. The flavors are in the darker fruit register, but there's a bright, tartness to them like a black raspberry. There's not really much else going on. Maybe a hint of minerality, but overall, this is a pretty basic b(ottle). It's a fine quaffer though, and your family will love it.
February 8, 2018 - PnP. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Dry wine with big blackberry and plum notes. Medium Oak. Better with food. Bought for $10 via Last Bottle sale. Glad I didn't pay more.
July 2, 2017 - Corked. Not so much that I couldn't minimize it with some cellophane and drink it at a family gathering of non-winos, but I'll reserve judgement for my other bottle.
January 16, 2017 - Good, not great. Decent qpr. Plenty of fruits...light on structure. More Grenache than Tempranillo. Give it a bit more time.
September 29, 2016 - Enjoyed each of my 6 bottles more than the last. Nice Tempranillo nose needed some time to develop.
September 22, 2016 - Maybe I just got a bad bottle but this was the worst Spanish tempranillo I've had all year. Very acidic and evanescent on opening with very little fruit and a relatively light body. On day two, the taste profile was very much driven by raisins and prunes.
March 30, 2016 - Have enjoyed this wine in the past, but this vintage seems a little over-extracted to me.
February 26, 2016 - 3.5/5 - Really enjoyed this, good flavour and body, Fruit and herbs. Will seek more.
February 6, 2016 - Berries and anise up front, a little hot so slightly chilled from the fridge is good. Odd effervescence too but not a bad thing
