  PnP and drank over a period of 3 hours. The wine began to open up after an hour and finally evened out around 2 hours. Drinking well now and will keep a few years. Tastes like Rioja and Tempranillo! Surprise. Dark fruits, oak, tobacco, and spice notes. The wine was a bit hot and lacked refinement, however, this wine would still go well with food. I'm thinking charcuterie board with ham + cheese! For the price very acceptable.

  A nose of dark fruit and some spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, with black cherry, plum, earth and spice on finish. www.winelx.com

  Wine might improve in a few more years. Overall a bit disappointing. Tannic with rough edges. Did soften after 3 days.

  Opened up with some musty, oxidative aromas. After an hour, evened out with pleasant red fruit, subtle smoke and eucalyptus. Better second day. Overall a classic Rioja. WS 94.
