  Presented double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of dark cherry, brambles, fig, toasted coconut, dill, cedar, olives, leather, earth and baking spices. There seemed to be quite a bit of wood. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish was long, delicious. Initial conclusions: this could be Cabernet Sauvignon (or a blend with other Bordeaux varieties), Syrah (or a blend with other Rhone varieties), Zinfandel, or Tempranillo from France, Italy, the United States, Australia or Spain. However, the amount of coconut and dill suggested this was American oak which had me rule out France, Italy and Australia and while this had some very lovely fruit, I felt this leaned more towards its non-fruit characteristics. So, final conclusion: this is Tempranillo, from Spain, from Rioja, Reserva 2011 from a high-quality, traditional producer like Lopez de Heredia. Ohhhh so close! It’s been a minute since I have had Hermanos Peciña; this was a reminder how much I enjoy this producer. The wines have so much character. Drink now and through 2033 with ease.

  Very nice, garnet color. A little rough when first opened, but beautiful fruits after about a half hour decant.

  - Garnet color with slow forming legs and aromas of black currant, cherry, blackberry, cedar and smokey. It's balanced and has flavours of cherry and black pepper with a full body. Round texture with a long finish - Long spicy tannic finish. Young wine, keep cellared for a long time.

  Complex wine. Dark Ruby, full bodied. Medium tannins.
  High alcohol or so it feels or is it the acidity. No legs so maybe it s 14%. aroma of black fruit and oak. ON palette, Crisp and tart but complex flavors including black fruit, cherry, and a good length. I sipped it by itself and would try it with some meat or tomato dish next.
