Our last bottle of this, we intended to drink it several years ago but somehow it eluded us until now. Expected it to be faded, but honestly my tasting note from 2013 could still apply verbatim. This is still drinking beautifully. Soft vanilla and plenty of fruit still. Amazing. And a trip down memory lane for a wine that was one of our faves from years ago. Bravo.

Longoria Tempranillo Vertical Tasting (Falls Church, VA): The 2006 vintage follows 2005 in very much the same style. Mellow vanilla, rich deep fruit, and silky mouthfeel are big parts of the experience. Blackberry, cherry, and raspberry all are present. This is drinking really well right now - probably at peak but this has plenty of stuffing so likely will remain there for quite some time.

delicious and beautifully complex. smoke & spice on both nose and palate, but evolving through the glass. Silky mouthfeel you don't often get with a smoky palate but the combo is great.

Big and rich. Lot of life left here. Nice sweet fruit, dusty. Big body but balanced; 15%+ alcohol feels in check.
