April 10, 2017 - Sadly this bottle has turned, and we couldn't drink it. Left a sour and bitter aftertaste.

October 13, 2013 - It wasn't stored perfectly, but has survived the last couple of years well. Not too hot on opening, decent fruit nose and entry, with pepper on the finish. Probably best that this was opened now, not sure how much longer it would have survived.

September 5, 2013 - Started off surprisingly hot! A little time and it blew off, thankfully. Not as earthy and delicious as the previous one, but still a nice bottle of Tempranillo. Probably time to drink up unless you think it may develop more bottle notes in the next couple years.
Edit: Revisiting the next day, it's nowhere near as close to the end of its life as I thought before. The spice is up front along with some plum flavour. Finish is medium+.
