February 2, 2024 - Dark cherry, touch of acidity, minerality, strawberries. Just great.

May 12, 2023 - This stuff is silky smooth with nicely integrated savory and dark cherry elements. Vanilla/oak also noticeable. Like a Rioja with "stuffing" (except it isn't because its from Castilla Y Leon and as I recently learned from spending time in the area, "We're better than Rioja" - a refrain I heard constantly!)

March 13, 2023 - Very smooth straight out of the bottle. Lovely tannins, mild oak, dark fruits. Paired beautifully with sausage and peppers and also, on nite 2, with steak and spinach and mushrooms with yuzu sauce.

January 28, 2023 - So good, PNP. Lots of vanilla and black fruit, earthy oaky midpalate, hints of tannins and acid in the finish. Great value. Still very smooth and delicious on day 2.
