October 12, 2013 - PnP. Consumed over 6 hours.
Like almost all offerings I have had from Bodegas Ondarre, this needs time to breathe. Lots of it.
Initial impressions were disappointing - definitely thin. Some red fruit elments, bot not much depth. Not bad, just not much too it.
Over the course of consumption this evolved quite a bit. First some tannic structure started appearing about one hour after opening. Later some deeper components came forward, and the tanning continue to emerge. Also a fair amount of acidic bite, getting stronger as the bottle was open.
Overall while this isn't bad after breathing I've had a other Ondarre offerings that were better for about the same price. Rated good (82-85) - nothing fundamentally wrong, but nothing remarkable either. A modest every day drinker.
The next bottle I consume will get at least 24-hours in the decanter to see what happens.2,136 views
