13 years young! Deep extraction. The 60 year old Granacha vines give a great base to the wine. Multiple layers of flavor. Medium tannins. Full mouth feel. Sustained finish. Has a few years more where it will still be very drinkable. Great food wine. This is worth far more than we paid.

looks like there may be bottle to bottle variation on the basis of previous wine notes; i liked my bottle, drank with a casual weeknight pasta dinner and was quite enjoyable; it was a leftover gift from a party so the quality/price ratio was very favorable; i'd buy it again for $10; agree with the proposed drinking window....

lighter-bodied wine with a cherry nose, along with a balanced short non-offensive sweet white limestone finish. drink now as the fruit is fading

Absolutely dreadful. Bitter, unpleasant, peculiar, sweet tart flavor along with very bitter tannins - never again.
