  1 year later this wine is really coming together. A great old school Spain Tempranillo

  Dark and brooding after almost 10 years. Will age another 5 at least. Dark fruits, integrated oak. Needs about a 2 hour decant. Really good Ribera

  Fairly soft at PnP but as planned, I gave this about 6h slow ox. The time softened it to velvet, and blew off the musty oak to reveal something clean, focused, yet complex. Layer aromatics of eucalyptus, black cherry, plum, lavender/violet, and black tea. Lively, fresh fruit strikes you with a touch of ma la as they say in Chinese - here, mild numbing spice - wrapped in a border of light, clean acid and that velvety upholstery, finishing with black plum. It’s an everyday quaff, and one that will keep your attention.

  Dark fruit, almost like its a monastrell. A worchester sauce. A costco product but then they stopped. Ahh, thought it was Chianti, no wonder it smells spanish.
