November 13, 2015 - The fruit is fading a bit but had good acidity to balance the rich stew that we had it with. It seems to be on the downside but still a very enjoyable bottle.

October 19, 2010 - A spanish jem built in the USA! This is a wonderful wine that rivals many of the great Spanish Tempranillo's I've had. Probably consumed this one too early though. But, had to try it out since this is the first Abacela wine I have had.. Nice balance of tannins, acidity and fruit. Very good minerality with a structure that seems like this can lie down for a good 10 - 20 years and age wonderfully. I'll be getting some more of this.
