  Excellent. Just starting to resolve. Great tannin, very balanced structure. Will buy more, I’m curious to track this for a few years.

  We first encountered Sierra Cantabria 20+ years ago, when it became our go-to red. Later, the wine seemed to drop out of sight. Now, we have rediscovered a bottle that is delightful. What we remember from years ago was a more classic tempranillo profile. But this wine was excellent, and I look forward to tasting its evolution over the coming years.

  Splash decant, back in bottle, followed during Thursday Night Football! A gift from a good friend.
  
  Dusty nose of dark cherry, cigar box, and dill. Palate shows smooth tannic structure, gentle acidity, cherries and cigar box. Finish has something zippy and metallic but essentially reflects the palate. Nice wine and a good representation of Rioja!
  
  Feels pretty fleshed out and drinking great now, no reason to wait.
