An excellent bottle! Only slightly bricked. Juicy with berries and cherries, a zingy belt of licorice on the long finish. Smooth, nice complexity, and easy to drink.

Thin wine dominated by raisins, but some black cherries too, and a medicinal finish. Too much alcohol for me, but may please some California Pinot aficionados. I suspect this is a bad example.

I grabbed this one as it appears I should have drank it a few years ago, but it held up. Great wine, great earthy brownish red color. Good spice, slight taste of leather, got better as it sat (was doesn't), and had nice soft tannins. I was sad to finally drink this one but wasn't disappointed.

Slight bricking, plenty of life left. Tastes fresh, berries, cherries, good balance, with a bitter, herbal finish. Nothing special, a nice quaffer.

Decanted. Black cherries, alcohol, full bodied, loads of fruit. Will improve in the next five years. One of the better balanced Rinconadas.
