Lot's of rubber and sulpher when first opened and sniffed, accurately predicting the funky earth and leather on the palette. That's the first hour or so. After that blows away, what is left is beautiful fruit pleasure - very reminiscent of Sangio but not as dry. Not a lot of experience with Tempranillo but if this is what you get for $10, I'm all in and feeling the need for more cellar space!
