decanted 1 hr nose- ripe blackberry, raisin, maple syrup mouth - extracted ripe berry but perhaps overripe, with raisiny features, still tannic but i dont think this will get a whole lot better. seemingly lacking the elegant minerality i seek in priorato

will pair well with dishes as varied as rich, fatty fish through white meats. Decent structure, medium bodied with modest fruit. I disagree with the other reviewers and think the finish is lackluster. This bottle traveled with us to Florida so perhaps the plane ride affected it. Decent value, will try again.

I picked up this bottle on my last trip to NYC. It was a good bottle but I think there is better for less. I am big on Spanish wines right now and this one did not disappoint. It was very full bodied and fruit forward with lots of blackberries. The best part of this wine was it's finish, nice and long. It was strong with an alcohol content of 13.5% but faded after a hour. Drink with heavy meats.

Earthy with some tangy fruit. Some acid on the mid pallette and notabletannis on finish.
