  July 6, 2013 - Balanced, just wonderful! This bottle had good storage and I feel will still go a couple more years.

  March 10, 2011 - This is in a good spot now but still took an hour or so to show well. Purple in color. I never would have guessed Tempranillo. The nose started as leather and dark cherries with some vanilla. With air, it got a delightful earthy funk to it. Full bodied. On the palate, this is dark cherries and leather. It has a nice complexity with decent acidity. Nice finish. Went very well with the food. Only my second time trying this winery, the first was a 99 drunk way too young, but they make some really nice Tempranillo. Tastes more like a modern version than a traditional Rioja, but very good.

  January 26, 2005 - Animal fur, toast, some old world funk in the aroma. Very low acidity. Rich and flabby, with some hard tannins, finishing a little rough. Decent varietal character, good effort, but not quite all together. Perhaps some aging will be good for this wine.
