  tasted with 2019 non y'gay reserva... similar depth of color, ruby rim. on the nose more red fruited and less ripe... feel like there are more varietal notes going on here other than tempranillo, more savory notes, more minerality, little bit less ripe on the fruit... more earthy minerality though 2019 may just have more fruit, similar large oak feel that is as much french as american in taste. on the palate higher acids, a more structred, less broad midpalate, firmer tannins, moderate to moderate ply alcohol. balanced wine with good length, very good intensity and complexity. wine has finesse, a very fine texture, and feels more rioja than the 2019 non y'gay reserva. again a really well made wine at a really fair price...drink or hold.
