  Drunk alongside Prado Enea 11, both very impressive. This is deep purple, big dark fruits, dill, dried herbs, vanilla. Long finish and a lovely round and harmonious feel to it.

  [Served blind]
  I couldn't believe this was 100% Tempranillo! Totally stumped by it and had no idea what this was.
  
  Probably the best Tempranillo I have had so far, this was a great example of the heights the grape can reach. Sweet and slightly tart black and dark red fruit, quite intense on the palate and still a bit tight. This is still young and could use another 3-5 years to round out the edges, but the stuffing is already there. 93+ today

  Medium purple. Pronounced nose of dried blackberry, black plum, strawberry and red cherry. Dried mint and dill. Well integrated vanilla, cedar, cloves and charred wood with a rustic leathery tobacco kick. High mouth coating and drying tannins even at this stage. Medium+ acidity and high- alcohol. Full bodied and the pronounced dark fruit forward nose caries through well to the palate where the sweet vanilla/oak is more noticeable. Lovely delicious long finish

  Wonderful wine. PnP. But left half bottle in decanter. Drinkable immediately and only improved with time. Deep nose, purple color and no hard edges. $170 on the wine list Angus Barn but offered at $110 because other wine at that price that I ordered wasn’t available. Very happy accident! Would buy again if reasonably priced
