  December 28, 2014 - This wine exceeded our expectations. Elegant and well balanced. I would consume what I have over the next few years.

  April 29, 2012 - Deep color. Sweetisch Nose of smoke, mushrooms, tobacco. Loads of tannins but lacks structure balance them.

  October 3, 2006 - Still red/violet, hard to detect browning. $12.49 label still present. While this was an off year, it still has plenty of secondary characteristics if not much fruit. There's tobacco, leather and American oak galore with a little cherry fruit peeking through. Palate is disjointed and finishes thin with plenty of acid remaining. Still, for 12 & a half bucks it was an interesting and nice smelling experiment.

  January 7, 2006 - ordered for the table. tommasso recommended this from his end of bin selections. enjoyed with mr. and mrs. t. and mr. and mrs. y. a pleasant but modest spanish wine. some fruit. not much body. a little tired. probably more enjoyable in the 1990's.
