Amazing QPR on this interesting Spanish wine that I have had in my cell for 5+ years. It was a perfect accompaniment for a hearty lamb stew made with local organic meat with mushrooms and assorted root vegetables. Tastes like a $45+ bottle of California Pinot Noir except with a bit more peppery overtones. Wine Enthusiast gave this wine a poor score of 85 points back in 2012. It has certainly improved greatly over the past 5 years. It is probably in a perfect drinking window at this time.

Consistent with the previous bottle for the most part; more pepper on the nose this time. Palate seems a little more integrated, but maybe I'm just imagining things.

A nose of cherry and meats, dark purple in color. A full bodied red, with black cherry, raspberry, tobacco and spice, spicy finish. a good value.
