November 25, 2021 - Wonderful spice and berry nose medium bodied well balanced and smooth.. I understand this is total tempranillo. Good shape after 12 years. Still has some life left.

June 30, 2019 - Medium to dark garnet. Blackberry cassis and spice. Palate is acid fruit with medium tannins. Could still be more balanced and integrated. Maybe one more year.

February 23, 2019 - Prototypical Ribera del Duero Tempranillo...the 09 vintage is still full of dark juicy plums and black cherries. Light tannins made this last bottle of our case after 10 years easy to drink...almost too much so as we wanted to savor it!
