Popped and poured and had a small glass the first night. Definitely very tart and tangy on the finish. Day 2 though, this became much smoother and notes of cherry were predominant with a pretty smooth finish. Good for what it is - and everyday Tempranillo.

Very good. Deep purple color. Cherries on the nose. Rich, full-bodied flavors of tobacco, coffee, and fruit. Some slightly sour zest on the finish. Most complex Tempranillo I've had in a while. Borders on "Delicious."

Mermelada de membrillo y algo de tabaco. Poco expresivo en nariz, complejo en boca y con final persistente.

A bit harsh on first pop, but smoothed out by day 2. Not too memorable (a bit more interesting on day 1), but good at this price.

Full bodied and finish. Lots of fruit with some tannins. Was a good match with BBQ pork loin. Great value for the price.
