The age of this wine is showing through in a very pleasant way on the nose. Smoked strawberries, with a lot of red fruit (raspberry, some red currant), leather, damp curtains, coffee, and some savoury qualities. On the palate the fruit is still there, mostly cherry, raspberry, some plum, with mocha, savoury characteristics, and some earth. Acidity very bright, but the finish a bit disappointingly short. Still, good overall structure, but should be drunk now. Very good with chorizo based dishes.

Pleasantly surprised by this wine. PnP it is ready to go right away. Nice nose with red berries, light toast, a little vanilla. The mouth feel is soft and round, with light-med finish. The red fruits and mocha coat the palate, with a nice level a acid to give it structure. I think this wine is at it's peak, a great weekday wine.

An utter disappointment. Flat, tannic, no body or complexity. Hard to discern what flavors are present. Maybe some mineral, sort of an unripe mashed berries. Not a very good wine, even for the price. I tend to like Miguel Torres wines, but certainly not this one. Would not purchase again.

Nice, but not amazing. For $10, it's a good Tuesday night wine.
