Deep, dark, intense fruit that is dry (not sweet). Long legs. Soft tannins. Long finish. A little hot until it had time to open. Great wine at this price.

Rich intense Tempranillo. At 16% ABV, this is definitely not a wimpy wine but for such a high alcohol wine it is quite balanced. Notes of black cherries, dark chocolate, cigar box and spice. Hold for another 3-5 yrs.
Huge, liquorous not-quite-wine. Almost port-like. It tastes good...but I don't really want to drink more than a sip of it. Hard to imagine much food that could pleasurably stand up to this. 16%, $23.

Dark red color. Deep extraction of flavor and color. Long legs and sustained finish. Soft tannins and very drinkable. Great food wine.

Absolutely terrible. Unbalanced, high alcohol liquor. Cough syrup.
