Not sure what everyone else is drinking, but this is a beautiful and exciting Tempranillo field blend that is excellent right now and still has plenty of time to improve. I didn’t decant this much and it improved mightily in the glass. Bright acids and little tannin here. Fresh cherry fruit with a base of earth. Drank this in a burgundy glass which is a good choice. This has evolved nicely since 2018 and it still has room for upside. Easy to drink now but will get better. If you have lots of this drink now but it won’t go downhill any time soon.

First bottle of this. Decanted 30-40 minutes but it should have been longer. Seemed very soft and simple at first although quite pleasant, but by the time we finished dinner this was much firmer and the tannins more apparent. Still, I won’t expect this to improve a lot beyond the next couple years. Good red berry fruit, some cedar notes, rather soft and supple fruit. Easy to drink.

Decanted one hour. Structured but lithe and elegant at the same time. Light black pepper with violet, fennel, earth. Still tannic finish but very fine tannins. This drinks well now with food but has several years to evolve. Very good. If you have a case try one now but don’t worry for the future.
