  its a very nice wine with dinner, have the beautiful ruby colour, some red fruits, leather, smoky, caramel,mouthfeel silky texture, medium bodied, but dont have much tannins to structure the finish , so I think the finish is soft and short. but this price have this wine is very ok

  Totally agree with previous comment. I would say this is not as "big" and a little lighter bodied for me. Nice dark fruit, some sour, dark, ?chocolate covered cherry notes.
  
  Drinking fine now and into next 1-2 yrs. Enjoyed the last vintage and this is new at private wine store for great QPR.
  
  Good match without food, everyday drinker, or otherwise would be ok with variety of food, if not to heavy.

  nose: somewhat robust with tones of coffee, dark red cherries and some spice tones. Balanced with decent depth
  
  taste: medium/full bodied with medium acidity and some chewy tannins. Nicely balanced with good tones of dark red cherries, dark fruits, spice and some coffee grounds
  
  overall: A solid crianza. Nothing all too spectacular but it has good balance and is a bit on the bigger side. This could use a little time, but it's not really going to become amazing or anything
