  6/26/2017 - Personal Opinion Likes this wine:

  Drank over 2 days.
  
  Day 1. Old world overtones of worn leather, black currant skins, exotic spices, purple florals and graphite. Reminiscent of a Left Bank Bordeaux. Structured texture, with drying tannins. Age will benefit.
  
  Day 2. Layers of worn leather, black licorice, black currant skins, florals and exotic spices. Oak integrates better on day 2. Structure is smooth, supple and balanced.
  
  Good quality, old-world style Tempranillo.
  
  Recommended with appropriate meat.

  Drank with friends while tasting six different Ribera del Duero wines. Magenta in color with wonderful mix of spices and fruit on the nose. Lots of vanilla and oak and well integrated tannins. Hints of tobacco on the finish that lingers.

  Great tannin and fruit on finish. Cherry rich. Strawberry too. Cedar and pepper nose. Binnys had it at 90. Lots of sediment, twigs. Solid for price.
