December 30, 2011 - Pretty bad experience. It opens up after 30 minutes, the wine tasted ok for the first hour. Pretty plain with a bitter aftertaste.
After 1 1/2 hour, the wine quickly turned into vinegar... -

May 18, 2011 - Vraiment très bien fait et à point. Robe violacée bien sombre, nez de fruits noirs bien mûrs et large bouche très équilibrée avec des tannins arrondis quoique bien présents. Pas (trop) de bois et bon rapport qualité-prix pour ce vin d'une appelation espagnole méconnue.

March 26, 2010 - Black color. Big licorice aroma. Light entry of tart black fruit flavors & charcoal with lean tannins & a puckering finish. A bit out of sorts.

December 17, 2009 - Interesting mix. Started off tannic, but really opened up and was much better with food. Dark fruit, some cocoa, slightly acidic. A good inexpensive wine.

November 15, 2009 - Unusual wine starting with the blue cork. Tempranillo / Merlot/ and Cab Sauv mix. Interesting and odd mid palate when first tasted - but with some air mix it became a real winner. Nicely balanced, young at present - could be laid down to age well.
