Big wine, decanted 6 hours. Lovely fruit approach, rich but not soft, has a lot of oak tannins which are soft enough not to be too aggressive. I feel it will get better with age, although approachable now with a long decant and food.

This is the 2009 one, there's no wood in the aroma, a bite of tabaco, fruit base. Very potent taste, a 100% tempranillo, very tanic wine but do not dry the paladar. Very high quality.

Oaky at first, but then it turn complex and elegant. Ripe fruit, spices, licorice, minerals... Very nice (and balanced) wine, with polished tannins.

Vuelta Espagnol - Spanish grape varieties/regions tasting (Palma de Mallorca): During an organized Spain tasting. This wine was very oxidative, probably more than it should be, so no tasting note given.
