August 19, 2020 - We really enjoyed this again. A lovely Spanish Tempranillo. Fruit and some oak on the nose, balanced on the palate. Amazing qpr.

August 19, 2019 - I had one of these a few years back and recall a notable dill and more red fruited character that I actually liked but is no longer coming through. Very dense, black and opaque coloring with ruby to garnet edges that are clouded a bit with sediment (I did not decant this and probably should have). Aromas of dark fruits (graduating towards stewed as it's been open), dark chocolate, walnuts, pen ink, graphite, and a touch of violet. Medium body and finish, medium (+) acid, with flavors of dark fruits, a little tart black raspberry, dark chocolate, and a bit of mineral and spice. Good with a flank steak with chimichurri tonight.

The dill notes on the nose and palate have resolved.
Really enjoyable now and have one more bottle to visit in on. -
