First taste super tart. Sour bomb in the month. After letting sit for a bit the wine opens up well. Still tart but balanced better by the fruit, alcohol and prior tastes on my tongue. With rich food does well. Not a sunny afternoon glass of wine, but definitely one that goes well at night with a (not so lean) steak.

Good wine...requires food and decanting helps. Tannins are a bit much out of the bottle, but it rounds out a meaty meal nicely. Not super complicated. A bit of that Spanish "dirtiness" to the flavor.

I really enjoyed this. Dark Tempranillo and thus probably not typical.
