Raspberry and blueberry on the nose, dark fruit and a bit sour and tart on the palate, the wine may be a little past its prime. Still interesting but the bright fruit is fading.

Deep mulberry purple colour. Some slightly herbal notes on the nose, but the fruit has pretty much faded away. Bit dulll and uninteresting on the palate. Fairly mature, but not really much to carry it. As on the nose, the fruit's gone. Some astringent notes, but not unpleasantly so, with some fairly sandy tannins floating around, finishing with some rather green notes. No faults, just not very good. Probably should have been drunk up by now.

Wish I had got to this a couple years earlier. Look for this DO from Spain. Grenache primarily.

Nice, but definitely on the decline. Mild nose of tar and black cherries. Slightly liqueurous. A little sour to me, but Amy likes it.

Smokey, dark-red fruit nose. Thick, tasty with a slight alcoholic bite. Starting to go over the hill. Drink up!
