Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 66 notes) | |
| Tasted by michigan dogs on 1/17/2010 & rated 89 points: very nice, smooth, noticible tannins, even though it had been decanted. I think it would have been better served by waiting another 2 years. (456 views) | |
| Tasted by joshwoodward on 1/17/2010 & rated 88 points: Bought a bottle of this, and stuck it in the decanter for ~90 minutes before serving. I actually preferred the pop-and-pour version of this. The decanting brought out a little more of the new world fruitiness, which made it a little more boring. $18 (421 views) | |
| Tasted by CdP in NYC on 1/15/2010 & rated 90 points: Great bottle. Lots of dark berry, cherry, earth, smoke and iron notes. Smooth, soft tannins with great grip. Drink now and over the next five years. 90 -JRS (523 views) | |
| Tasted by fxhaddad on 1/10/2010 & rated 89 points: A fine Ribera with silky tannins and a medium long finish. This wine is perfect with spicy food as it accompanied Spicy Tuna Rolls. The nose had easy berry tones and a nicce smooth tast. I didn't get the WOW factor i was expecting. the wife liked it more than i, i guess she'll be buying more when the pricce drops to 20 a bottle. No reservations - good for a Boeuf Bourguignon... On the expensive side for $29 (511 views) | |
| Tasted by joshwoodward on 1/9/2010 & rated 90 points: Churchill's: Closeouts (Maumee, OH): The nose is Priorat-y, with that grape jelly character and some oak. Concentrated, medium+ tannins, acid and body. Earthy, black cherry, strong but integrated oak. Not jammy, ripe or hot. Food-friendly. Good QPR at $18 (551 views) | |
| Tasted by jbshows on 1/2/2010 & rated 91 points: Really nice. Dark in color, but not black. Very good weight in the mouth, with great balance. Good stuff for the money. (572 views) | |
| Tasted by TLogan on 12/29/2009 & rated 93 points: Dark fruit. Barnyard funk that dissapates w an hour of decanting. Drank Christmas w a standing rib roast. Magnificent. (682 views) | |

| Tasted by raadams on 12/25/2009 & rated 91 points: (350 views) | |
| Tasted by Gringo on 12/4/2009 & rated 91 points: Good QPR. The nose found tar, pine and tart berry. A beautiful garnet for the eye. There was really nice mouthfeel. The tannins were a tad harsh, but the tongue otherwise found a meaty blend of cedar, dried herbs, and ripe apple with undertones of mint and vanilla. There was a medium finish. This is drinking rather nicely now. (981 views) | |
| Tasted by Lessthanzero on 11/13/2009 & rated 91 points: Tannic beast. Nice when opens up, but takes some time. (Decant at least one hour.) Will put away my remaining 2 for 1 or 2 years. (1188 views) | |
| Tasted by mchoksi on 10/31/2009 & rated 89 points: Nose: Oak, cherry, hint of plum. Palate: Raspberry, dark fruits, sweet spices, slightly bitter aftertaste. Mid-complexity. Tasted great with a simple lamb chop pairing. Good wine for the price ($20 at Costco) (1389 views) | |
| Tasted by mason hill on 10/30/2009 & rated 91 points: (1003 views) | |
| Tasted by Patas on 10/29/2009 & rated 89 points: (1063 views) | |
| Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 10/28/2009 & rated 91 points: Ribera del Duero $20 to $40; 10/27/2009-10/28/2009: Ruby in color with somepurple swirls. This was very tight on opening and unwound all night. Earthy with plums, dark cherries and spice. Complex if tight. The palate is a complex layering of raspebrries, cherries, and graphite. This was a very interesting wine in search of a decanter. It was the crowds #3 but my WOTN! 50+4+12+18+7=91 (1679 views) | |
| Tasted by ews3 on 10/27/2009 & rated 92 points: Zachys Fall 2009 Food & Wine Extravaganza (The Lighthouse at Pier Sixty (NYC)): nice black cherry and sweet spice flavors. (1401 views) | |

| Tasted by Beebe on 10/4/2009 & rated 89 points: Food friendly Tempranillo. Consistently good. Writing notes too late to describe exactly but a balanced, fruit forward, medium acidity wine. Should go for a few more years. (1843 views) | |

| Tasted by tantotinto on 8/29/2009 & rated 89 points: This is a very nice wine. Flavors of dark cherry and blackberry predominate. Very drinkable now but the tannins are still a bit pronounced. It will likely be even better in a year or two. (1415 views) | |

About red wine Varietal character (Appellation America) | TAPAS: Tempranillo Advocates, Producers and Amigos Society Tempranillo is the premium red wine grape variety from the Rioja and Ribera del Duero region in Spain. Tempranillo's aromas and flavors often combine elements of berryish fruit, herbaceousness, and an earthy-leathery minerality. Being low in acidity and sugar content, it is commonly blended with Carignan (Mazuela), Grenache (Garnacha), Graciano, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Vinos de España - Wines of Spain (Instituto Español de Comercio Exterior) | Wikipedia Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos and Amontillados. But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.
