Probably past peak. Brick red with medium tears. Quite a bit of oak aromas remaining; notably some coconut, vanilla, and spice (presumably they used American Oak on this vintage?). Good acidity still with balanced tannins, but not much flavor left.

Rich Tempranillo that had some black fruits and acidity to match with food. Opened up a little but I think this is as good as it is going to get.

Very rich with chocolate notes. A good BBQ wine.

Clove and spice on the nose. Dark cherry, fig, clove on the palate. Maybe a little bit past it's prime, but still very enjoyable.

Fruit fading. Should have opened earlier.
