The nose isn't very intense. Smells of forest floor and lots of oak. Some red fruit once it opens up a bit. It tastes pretty heavy of oak and black current. Feels a bit more alcoholic than it is. I didn't NOT like it and for the price it's good. Just maybe not my style of wine. Also, definitely needs time to open up.

Lighter in body and simpler in taste than expected. No nose to speak of. Pleasant enough dark fruit flavors but nothing complex or terribly unique. No tannins detectable at all. This was a pleasant smooth drink... was just hoping for something with a little more body strength and flavor from a Gran Reserva.

Hints of Del Dotto - nose of tobacco, dark cherry, plum and vanilla. Tastes of black licorice, dark fruits. Smooth, medium finish of mild blackberries. Drank alone, not paired with food. Excellent value. One more bottle cellared. Looking forward to tasting it after another year of aging, but I worry that the finish will be shorter.

Tobacco and leather with a hint of vanilla, classic Spanish and great with anything grilled or stewed

Mild body. Not exceptional flavors. Light to almost no tannins, doesn't seem to have much time for cellar. Drink now.
