I have had this twice nice and it’s just not great or what you expect from Phelps. The finish of watered down ripe plum on the finish is just blah. Disappointed for the price point of such a poorly sourced executed wine.

I decanted for about an hour and was still a little closed. Could taste currant off the bat and Cedar. Drank the second glass and it opened up with hints of blackberry, pencil, River rock, green tobacco, cedar, just so much flavor.
Let it decant for 2.5 more hours and was sadly flat. Lost all depth and became dry.
Felt this wine’s vintage drank much older than 2010.
Definitely worth trying! Happy NYE!

This is one of the sweetest wines from Spain I’ve ever had. Jammy.
