  Wine is Tempranillo (90%) and Graciano (10%).
  
  Decanted for 30 minutes after being in cellar at 55F for several months. Extremely dark, almost pitch black with some violet. Very little legs. Aroma is plum, smoked ham, and an interesting butter scent from the oak. Something about it reminds of being on the beach around the bonfire on a cool night.
  
  Palate has blackberry, red cherries, dark chocolate, buttery brioche, and some spiciness from the french oak. Nothing over the top or too distinct but is very balanced and exceptional with food.
  
  We threw together some improvised quesadillas with pulled chicken, shredded cheese, ham, and smoked habanero sauce that complimented the wine.
  
  Overall, I would definitely drink this again. It has an average QPR at $21 USD.

  rubin rot, typische Nase nach roten Beeren, bereits gut entwickelt und erschlossen, gutes Tanine Gerüst, das gut eingebunden ist. Insgesamt ist die Holznote wahrnehmbar, aber relativ dezent. Noch sehr schöne Frucht und langer Abgang. Jetzt gut trinkbar, wird aber in den nächsten Jahren sich weiter aufschließen und noch runder und weicher werden ... 5-6 Jahre Potenzial.

  Not bad with a cheese board .. unfortunately didn't get to finish the bottle and was dead a few days later when I tried it again.
