July 17, 2009 - Nose mixes leather and eucalyptus. Bright, tart fruit flavors and a hint of pepper and grass.

July 22, 2007 - Tried it after half an hour decanting - I don't know if the bottle was off, but it tasted like medicine. After struggling through some, we threw away the last half of the bottle. Disgusting.

May 8, 2007 - I think this wine is very good, especially considering the cost ($9). There's good pepper undertones and a nice cherry/vanilla flavor. A quality spanish wine.

April 18, 2007 - Love it; smokey and slightly spicy, but with dry and quick finish. Rich dark blackberries and purple plums.
