A lot more fruit and less minerality than I would have thought at 10 years +/-. Not necessarily a positive. Hamburger wine then (notwithstanding some 90 scores by those lush loving fruit forward types) and still.
Oh well, this was more in the way of an experiment to see what would happen if I put a bottle down for a few extra years.....Won't do that again!

This wine held up beautifully. Served it to friends after dinner where i served two other Spanish wines and it was delightful. Nice balance of acidity and fruit. Went well with London Broil. Full bodied and balanced. Easy to drink.

I was pleased how well this has held up, dusty fruit, nice balance between the acid and fruit to give this a light bodied grenache wine that paired well with chili. Drink up, it will probably not last much longer.

Disappointing. Herbaceous. Bitter on the finish

Still a good wine and great value!
Sour blackberries and starburst cherries combine with dark pepper for a great mouth feel that comes with harsh edges on the side.
This was the last of a case bought in 2008 and every bottle was great wine for the price point.
