March 13, 2018 - This is super pretty. Black fruits, tobacco, smoke, mushroom, tar, and gobs of iron. Very nice acid balance. EtOH seemed a bit prominent but this is forgiven. Overall, this is a very carefully made (?polished) Rioja and one that could hold its head high at any dinner party.

August 29, 2016 - Black with a deep ruby rim. Nose of black cherry, raspberry, cedar, and mint, with some heat. Medium to full bodied on the palate, good grip and length but marred somewhat by alcoholic sharpness.

August 29, 2013 - This a wonderful wine, with just the right balance of power and grace. The nose starts with pickle juice, followed by dried celery seeds and dried rose petals. In the mouth it's medium body with firm tannins and mostly wood and leather profile. I only issue is the wine finishes a bit hollow.
This is a solid drink for about $30. -

November 26, 2010 - The red wine B de Basilio 2007 is comprised of 66%Tempranillo 30%Garnacha 4& Graciano. This was quite cold in the winery and hard to evaluate so he gave us the remainder to try over dinner. I didn't take a formal note over dinner, sorry!
However I recall being srtuck by how different it tasted to me. One of the more savory reds from Spain I had ever tasted. It was very understated and not at all overdone. Very easy drinking.
Ideal at 6- 10 years we were told. A wine for longer aging is in the pipeline.
