Giant Wine Sale & Tasting, 12/13/2014 Cellar on Greene, Columbia, SC (Cellar on Greene, Columbia, SC): Looks like this 2008 is a current release. The nose and the palate show quite a bit of maturity. There is probably a slight amount of oxidation that doesn't hurt much, and yet it could still use a decant. Hint of eucalyptus on the nose and palate. Old World style with more of the flavor coming from non fruit flavors like cola, orange rind, smoke, leather and brown spice than the fruits like red cherry, blackberry and plum. Close to full bodied. Still plenty of balancing acid. Red fruit, licorice, and earth on the finish.

If inexpensive, i would like this muriel 2008 crianza. Nothimg spectacular on my experience with this. Will try morcilla to pair with it.
I find it medium body light finish raw on palate no significant fruit flavor. Still works well even if not cooled or aerated .
Flavor is bitter flat.
Nevertheless, i would include this in my cellar for inexpensive wines :)
