  With time, this wine has evolved, and this bottle showed darker fruit than I recall, but still maintained a very bright profile with great acid.

  Nose has a very peppery profile, and very tart red fruit with hints of smoke and rubber. On the palate there's rich raspberry, earth, spice. This has a lot going on for the price point!

  7/31/2016 - ctbob Does not like this wine:

  The group's and my last place wine in a blind tasting of Spanish mencias: "Do they make wine from celery now?" "I think a rat died in the barrel." "Is is just this bottle or is this just lousy wine?"
  
  Nose of celery salt, according to one wag, but there was a consensus about the celery flavor going on. One drinker it was in the very early stages of being corked.
  
  IAE, no one liked it at all.

  Nice with red fruit and earthy, maybe slightly meaty notes. Nice but not a lot better than just OK.

  Grenache-esque on the nose and in the mouth; black pepper, dark fruit, med-minus tannin, medium acidity
