Good on day one though! Few wines in the world are still good on day 3 after being opened . If they are, it’s a sign they are to be aged for more time in the cellar. This wine now, on day one opened, exudes a life of earth on the nose. Super sense of place; Upland old world Spain. Brilliant acidity carries this ripe fruited earthbound yet elegant red through the taught medium plus bodied mid palate to a drying fine tannin finish. To age decently well in bottle for sure in the near to medium term despite the poor showing on “day 3”.

Roasty, toasty and not that great on day 3.
