Great mature wine that I enjoyed with leg of lamb. Complex fruit with undertones of leather and chocolate. Great finish. Dry apricot urging another sip. .

Decanted off a tiny bit of sediment for 4 hours. At a relative's house with less than ideal glassware.
Nose is aromatic with spicy red fruit, smoke, and cigar box. Palate is smooth and cool on entry, but develops some zing from acid and tannins. Finish is drying and chewy--dried red fruits, clove, black pepper, and warm spices.
Drink now, in a rocking place. Very good balance of age and fruit. Probably could age for a bit longer but no need to wait.

Nice, deep fruit, still youthful but develops a decent savoury element. Classic Gran Reserva from a great vintage.

Stellar, I love this wine! Bold notes of dark fruit, especially blackberry with some fig and plum on the finish

A smooth Tempranillo based blend with notes of dark fruit and spice, followed by a touch of cinnamon on the finish.
