Less fruity than before, still drinking well. Some coffee, oaky, dark fruit, after it opens up it is more balanced. It seems lighter now, more mainstream Tempanillo than before. Would definitely say drink them if you have them, feels like its at peak or just over the peak.

Fruit-forward, well integrated, with its tannins well-tamed by time. Dark fruit, cherries, ripe peaches, leather on the nose. Pepper and thyme and hints of menthol in the mid-palate. Long, quiet, and brooding finish. I am bit surprised at the date range given on CT as this is holding up beautifully, though probably drinking at peak now. I have owned a few bottles of this since its release and it was well worth the wait!

Last sip was the best… a good decant or more bottle time won’t hurt this one

Still delicious, well integrated and much more like a burgandy than a tempenillo. Finishes dry and a bit tart.
