This falls into the sort of big Spanish wines that were getting high scores from magazines in the 2000s. Pretty well-balanced for the style, though, and hasn't fallen apart with age. Ripe, dense black fruit, accentuated by some spices, tar and coffee. Good with grilled meat. Now that I think about it, for $20 this is excellent.

Opened on a Monday night and intended to have one glass. Ha! Dense red fruit and plum, rich mouth-coating tannins, sharp acidity but still a nice balance. A bit of Ribera tar driving the flavor profile makes this a marvelous wine. A great wine for Spanish fans.

Quite dry on the palate. The smoky notes linger together with blackberry. Nice acidity balances the wine and tannins feel smooth.

Medium plus finish. Tannins are quite grippy. This could bottle age another 5 years. I agree with "HEYTHATSLIFE" below.
