March 2, 2016 - Big, thick, heavy. Tannins still masked. Can't say it's a pleasure to drink as it seems too one-dimensional. Big fruit lovers might like it more.

October 23, 2015 - Initial impression of heavy, intense fruit changed to a more positive depth of structure with 1 hr in the decanter. Not for the feint of heart; big-styled Ribera del Duero. Looking at previous notes it appears to have gained with age. Will hold the other bottle to see how it develops. Not sure where to place it at present... 86-88?

June 10, 2012 - RussK In the catskills, with lamb and Rachel. Really benefited from a 2+ hr decant. Gentle Spanish nose, liquid mouth, resolving into silky tannins. 91- keep buying more.

May 6, 2012 - RussK. Lazy Sunday afternoon at KLK's. Nice balance. No flaws. Girls liked. A no brainer, if not a thinking man's wine. 90+. Get a few more next time.
