Consistent w prior notes. Old pruney date-like flavors. In a small southern US market virtually devoid of interesting wine I make purchases all too often on scores and descriptions from wine publications. Woefully missed mark on this one. 18 bottles - all piss poor from the outset - more of this wine has gone down the drain than the gullet - can’t hardly finish a glass much less a bottle. Dreadful stuff - dispiriting really - undercuts trust in the whole wine business model - poor product and reviews. Wine is a subjective experience for certain but I would wager a fortune this wine would be a uniform loser amongst any tempranillo based tasting even the big bulk ones.

Needed to breath as it was much better after an hour. Initially slightly smoky but after breathing it was tart plum with some acidity. Tartness lingers. Overall enjoyed. Not my most favorite but enjoyable.

Not sure how to describe this, as there is definitely something out of whack. Not unpleasant (on the first night), but nothing I'd rush back for either. Two nights later it fell apart completely and was undrinkable.

Decanted and left to breathe. Very smooth wine with lots of tasts.

Continues to be a rather shrill wine; an interesting but kinda weird yeasty toasty date character has taken shape in past couple of bottles.
