This is still quite purple/black, but isn't completely opaque. Beautiful nose of creme de cassis and blackberry pie with herbal shadings and smoke. Great palate, this is silky but retains a good tug of tannin and acidity. Fully mature, but fresh and inviting, this shows no signs of old age! 92

Fresh sappy cherry fruit, tannins have calmed down, still seems youthful, subtle vanilla, just a hint of warmth on the finish from its 14.7% alcohol. Best served slightly cooler than room temperature. Glad I still have a few more of these.

Bouquet of anise and vanilla and crushed berries, with flavors of tart cherry and plum on the palate. Full bodied with tamed tannins. Medium to long length and plesant finish. Yummy!

First time with this producer. Fully mature but not over the hill. This had an animal element that reminded me of Northern Rhone Syrah.

Quite firm and fierce for tempranillo, I think this needs a few more years to calm down a bit.
