  initially nose gives that high end tempranillo nose - smoked sausage with plums and cherries. with air and time the nose expands and shows that stemmy spicy goodness of various dark fruits, blue fruits, old wood, tobacco and spice. palate is really dry, tannic and bit oaky for a moment. It's not unpleasurable to drink now and I believe it will hold for quite a long time. if mid palate won't drop, it will be heck of great wine for the money (currently paid ~26EUR). I might just wonder how serious their more expensive wines might be. Or it's just this wine that is value monster?

  Garnet in color. Black cherries, plums and coffee on nose. Very fresh and precise fruit. Some secondary aromas like tar and oak. Sandy tannins and a refreshing acidity round off the palate. Nice to drink now

  Needed two hours to open. Very promising, hard tannins but a deep fruity core with huge complexity. Let it breathe at least 2-3 hours or cellar some more time.

  Elegant but ripe, could use some age. Well made.
