85 Points

Thursday, December 20, 2018 - Disclosure: I do not drink many Tempranillos, so I did not know what to expect. I bought this because the blurb at the store said "WS 90", and it was $13.99, and I got a 20% discount for buying a mixed case. Seemed like a good deal. Popped and poured one glass. Color was medium-light purple. Nose was woody. Palate was quite tannic with sour cherries. Pumped remainder with Vacuvin, put in cool cellar, will try the "aged" sample tomorrow. Not a bad wine, but my sense is that it needs quite a bit more aging to mellow out a bit.
