Interesting and different, still trying to figure out what to make of it. Not sure if it’s a PNP wine or it needs some air - the Tempranillo/Abillo Mayor blend is intriguing and how chilled this should or shouldn’t be. Need to try again with a different approach. Notes felt surpressed.

Really good but probably a bit restrained night of RBD tasting. Superior quality is evident but did not have some have that luxurious, velvety shine VS often offers. Excellent wine nonetheless.

WOTN at blind RBD tasting, beating out two Vega’s and other high quality names. Similar notes to Easter - excellent structure, balance power, good acidity. Classic RBD that lives up to the Gran Reserva billing.
