Blackberries, red cherries, smoke, earth, a little new leather, some light barrel scents, and a little sweetness that comes out with swirling. Tart cherry, red cherry, blackberries, tart plums, earth, herbs, and spice on the palate. Very good mouthwatering acidity, grippy tannins, medium finish. Wow, this is such a nice tempranillo, one of the better domestic ones I've tried. It's quite dense and extracted, but not overextracted like a lot of them. It needs a lengthy decant, btw.

Two hour decant. Freeze dried raspberry, tulips, maple syrup, and cherry Jolly Rancher on the nose. Smooth, dry palate, with maple syrup flowing through. Firm, low intensity tannins on the longish finish.

Cherry notes, some mild leather and earthiness, and black pepper make this an excellent tempranillo.

Wow! Heavy body, dark berry with spice nose and taste - great the 2nd day also, even though we forgot to seal the bottle overnight!
