8/6/23, 9:49 AM - Thanks @Mark1npt. Suspected as much and will definitely pursue that with future bottles. I have a few, so have some time to experiment.
7/25/23, 9:05 AM - Haha no comment
6/18/23, 1:16 PM - Thanks for the review. I’m hoping to open one of my bottles of this soon. How did you treat it (slow-ox, decant, etc.), and for how long? Much appreciated.
6/19/23, 11:24 AM - That’s great—thank you for that. Hoping I’ll have the same experience!

4/3/23, 10:53 AM - Thanks for that, that would be my guess as well. Good thing I have more bottles, so I can test it out!

10/25/15, 7:46 PM - Hi Arthrovine, both the bottles I had were 750 mL. I think even in those formats you likely would have a couple more years of great tasting, so would think that the magnum would last a bit longer.
5/28/15, 10:24 AM - Thanks JaynPam. It's funny, I couldn't find anything on the bottle indicating it was 100% Tempranillo. I didn't think to look on the website. I'm still curious though; the blackness was just so much stronger than any of my other tempranillo experiences. Including those from Abacela. In retrospect I'm sure I was wrong about Merlot, but I still wonder if there isn't some Syrah in there somewhere. I went to the winery this past weekend and they were indeed out of the 2005, so I bought a couple of bottles of 2009. Given the experience I just had with the 2005, I probably won't open them for at least a decade.

Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
