Robe violacée, nez multidimensionnel, cannelle, cardamon, chocolat qui laisse place au fruits rouge. Acidité bien présenté et tannins encore charnus. Bouche pas des plus complexe. Intéressant pour le prix tout de même.

Cherry nose with vanilla, tar and butterscotch notes. Good fruit, freshness and complexity to finish. Good for more years to come as it still doesn't show its age. 4/5

The wine is garnet with a slight ruddy colour. Very complex taste with hints of blackberry, blueberry, cherry, plum, and dill. On the nose very similar to the taste yet more defined dill.

Exceptionally complex, DIL, Red Cherry prominent, Nice Mid palatte and rounded mouth feel with a reasonably good finish for a wine that is very reasonably priced. I could drink these everyday !

This remains the best bargain ever. I have now managed to polish off a few cases and I wish I had more. Thanks Balbas for years of enjoyment!

This tempranillo is in it's prime drinking window! Blue fruit, coffee with floral notes and chocolate, with a very long finish. Wow!

Smooth palate of cherries, tobacco, plums. Perfect with grilled steak.

Moderate aromatics, perhaps a bit closed. Cherry, plum, pepper. Medium bodied, but not a ton of structure. shortish finish. Nice flavours though.

Opened bottle #2 -- just wanted to verify the change in the wine over 24 hours - the tiny tannis evolve away on day 2 - great Tempranillo QPR

fav LCBO Vintages Consultant recommended this - and I see why -- have 2 more but will see if more can be had --- decant or open and drink on day 2.
