14 years after harvest and following decanting, this remains a beautiful wine. Decanting mellows slightly harsh tanins and leaves a bold wine that pairs well with fresh meat.

Deeper plum flavors now it has matured. A little pepper and cola on the palate. Nice long dark cherry finish. A well structured mellow Syrah. Very good

This has aged very well and could take a few more years cellered.
Good structure and tanins. No lingering change in taste or great complexity in this wine. As such, its a great sipper by itself or paired with red meats and dry cheeses.

Our fourth reserve Tempranillo was sourced from the dry, sandy loam of South East Block. The aromas include expressive ripe blackberry, boysenberry jam, lavender, graphite, and leather. The flavors are intense and transcend a huge spectrum from ripe currants and plums, to savory spices. Perfectly balanced acidity, integrated oak and concentrated fruit culminate to a tannic, lengthy finish. This wine will improve in the cellar for ten to twelve years. For a sumptuous feast, pair with the famous el lechazo of Aranda de Duero.
