| Tasted by admid on 1/24/2010 & rated 86 points: Dark purple red Aroma: blackberries, plums, cherries and dark chocolate Medium body and good concentration. Fruity palate with vanilla notes. Very good length A really good wine, but I find it a little closed for the moment, might improve in a year or two, or give it an hour or two in a decanter, which I didn't have time for. Due to that, I've put a part of the wine on long time decanting and will be back with a report later on. (116 views) | |
| Tasted by Diablito on 12/30/2009 & rated 90 points: Great example of what tempranillo can be. (163 views) | |
| Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 10/28/2009 & rated 91 points: Ribera del Duero $20 to $40; 10/27/2009-10/28/2009: Purple in color. The nose is reticent at first but opens a bit. Earthy with plums. With more air, it shows dusty. Thinner in body. Tart cherries on the palate. With air, this put on weight and tannins. It had a lovely bitter uality at the finish. Kept improving all night. The groups WOTN and my #2. 50+4+12+17+8=91 (482 views) | |

Palate pllush, round and almost sweet in its display of ripe cherry and strawberry fruit. Finishes with silky tannins, a repeating note of strawberry and very good length. (462 views) |

About red wine 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.
