Great old world style wine with balanced tannins and acidity. Good food wine. Dried cherries and vanilla with minerals. Love it! Glad we waited to drink it. Has matured well. Just wish we had more than one bottle. Getting better as it opens up.

This wine has mellowed nicely over the last 2 years. Nice old world style and have to agree more Italian than Spanish. Not as earthy as I thought it might be but all the same a great wine for the price.

Dark ruby. Strawberry, stems, sweet oak, and vanilla on the nose. Just under medium bodied, raspberries, spice, chocolate cherries, pepper, good acid, grippy tannins, and a pleasant medium length finish. Aging gracefully.

The wine is OK but am afraid you can tell it has passed its drinking window and has developed a strong acidic note. It does improve by sitting in the glass for a few minutes, but can't help it much. Am glad I bought only 4 bottles and it was cheap (although I've had cheaper that are much better).
