February 19, 2022 - This bottle showed significant bret/funk. Herbal and sharp, rough and rustic. A stark contrast to the bottle I had 3 years ago, with nobody identifying this as Duero or even Spain. Not a great bottle.

November 21, 2021 - 10/21 - had it at Halloween with kev/Mike/Tim. Simply an amazing wine. Great depth and balance. Nose of an aged northern cote rotie with smoke/graphite the kind of stuff I love. Beatufifully integrated with high ie fruits tobacco. Not sure it will get better but might.

July 4, 2021 - [Tasted Blind] This pours medium garnet, medium bricking. The nose is expressive and complex showing notable new barrel. Aromas of charcoal, coffee grounds, dark cherry, strawberry, tobacco, and sawdust powerfully waft. The palate enters on bright and sweet fruit but quite unfortunately turns very tannic and astringent on the finish. Quite a lot of wood tannin here. I guessed a modern leaning bordeaux from a cooler vintage, at about 20 years of age. All in all this is showing quite nicely. The nose is aromatic, mature and complex. A 91 point nose, but sadly I found the astringent palate to really hold this back in the mouth. Pleasant with food, challenging without it.

ANd still lively, fresh, vigorous and extremely drinkable.
An impressive performance for this entry-level, widely available label. From a top-notch vintage.
