  Dark cherry, touch of acidity, minerality, strawberries. Just great.

  PnP. Really a fine Tempranillo showing ripe fruit and character. Drink now- 2027. Has evolved faster than I expected two years ago.

  This stuff is silky smooth with nicely integrated savory and dark cherry elements. Vanilla/oak also noticeable. Like a Rioja with "stuffing" (except it isn't because its from Castilla Y Leon and as I recently learned from spending time in the area, "We're better than Rioja" - a refrain I heard constantly!)

  Very smooth straight out of the bottle. Lovely tannins, mild oak, dark fruits. Paired beautifully with sausage and peppers and also, on nite 2, with steak and spinach and mushrooms with yuzu sauce.

  So good, PNP. Lots of vanilla and black fruit, earthy oaky midpalate, hints of tannins and acid in the finish. Great value. Still very smooth and delicious on day 2.
