September 9, 2023 - Decanted 1 hr. Drank over 2 days. Day 2 was a touch less tasty than day 1. Consistent, dry, tannic tastes of darker fruits.
July 3, 2023 - Pop and pour at room temp. Juicy and delicious!
June 18, 2023 - Pop and pour. Beautiful, palate-filling red fruit with nice balance and fine granular tannins. Showing well now.
May 7, 2023 - First time tasting a Booker Tempranillo and it was enjoyed by many. Deep dark smoky fruits, roasted meats, crushed flowers and scorched earth. Excellent acidity and finish. Cheers
April 2, 2022 - Powerhouse new world Tempranillo that bears little resemblance to old school Riojas. Deep notes of dark berries with medium to high tannin and acid. Kept evolving as the bottle was kicked, even after a 1.5 hour decant. Definitely a food wine! Excellent stuff.
January 14, 2022 - So good. I don’t care that it isn’t a typical Tempranillo - give me more.
December 11, 2021 - Rich, luxurious and smooth. Dark berries and blueberries. Great food wine.
October 28, 2021 - meh
August 18, 2021 - had this and the 2017 ripper...........the ripper was good, this was better
