| Tasted by smokeshowing on 8/20/2010 & rated 88 points: Okay, what descriptive words come to mind with sniffs and sips of this wine? First with the sniffs - she says it smells a little like tawny port and clean socks. She said that she's not sure what that means, but here we go... Now with the sip - she said pickles, but now I think she is losing her mind! Now she moves on to chocolate. All-in-all it sounds like she might be schizophrenic. To sum it up, we have pickles, socks (clean) and tawny port. I, on the other hand, have an absolutely pedestrian interpretation of this wine. It's rather rich, round, and full of blackberry. The nose reminds me of molasses and cherry blossoms. I like thus wine quite a bit! (251 views) | |

| Tasted by Cal Bear on 7/6/2010 & rated 88 points: Great QPR. Dark purple color. Undistinguished but pleasant enough nose. Great flavors of oak, some spice, and rich, plummy fruit, then some tar. Good match with range of foods. Medium length finish. (524 views) | |

| Tasted by Periko on 2/27/2010 & rated 87 points: Opened for 20 min, drank over 3 days, being the 2nd day the better. It improves so much with time and air. Better decant for at least 1 hour. Very nice dark color. On nose is appealing with dark fruit flavour, oak and candy. It is very appealing and invites to drink it. On palate it is a bit tannic and astringent, oaked but balanced. The finish is fresh and has medium lenght but leaves a bit drieness on palate. It softens quite a lot with time (3rd day). This wine probably needs two more years cellaring. A good effort by Maurodos and an excellent, suberb QPR. (793 views) | |
| Tasted by Periko on 1/10/2010 & rated 88 points: Very strong in nose with berry and grapes, soft palate. (882 views) | |
| Tasted by RedLoverJim on 11/7/2009 & rated 87 points: Nice purple color. Strong nose of something like sweet tobacco. Flavors of grape punch with a slight sweet tart finish. Yummy. (1010 views) | |
| Tasted by mmurry on 11/7/2009 & rated 91 points: World of Spain and Portugal (Farpointe Cellar): The nose was very intense. It had smoke, tobacco, blackberry, pencil shavings, cherry, and a little vanilla at the end. The palate was soft, and had blackberry, tobacco, smoke, graphite, and a cherry finish. (1030 views) | |

About Red Wines 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.
