Perfumed nose of Asian spices and ripe plums. In the mouth it's quite firm, with some cassis coming through. A bit odd; the nose says mature (and very ripe) Tempranillo, and the mouth says not-as-ripe Cab that's not quite ready. I think this could come together even more in a year or two.

Not sure what other reviewers were drinking - this wine is most certainly not over the hill, and still has very nice dark fruit, tobacco and pepper flavors, medium bodied, nice length. We drank the wine with Thai food and it paired well, and then I finished the bottle over the next three hours and it is still drinking well. Great value.

Surprisingly this was a reasonable wine even though it was probably past its best, it was decent, if a little flat

Started out very weak, and I thought it was way past its time. But an hour in the decanter opened it up nicely.
