Solid Rioja Alavesa Tempranillo. I bought a bottle with a prime rib dinner at a local steakhouse: Bully's East. The wine opened up slowly. Not overly astringent, nor were the tannins too heavy. It was OK, but not remarkable. I brought the bottle home and had a glass about 6 hours later. It was a completely different wine. Mellow, good mid-palate and a long finish. It had opened up and was an excellent example of the Alavesa sub-region of Rioja, right over the border in the Basque Country.
