Very good, but not a stellar wine. However, the very excellent 04 vintage shows through. This seems only a few years old, with vibrant acidity and fruit. Wow. Not stellar, but hard to believe it is that old! And yet it is better than really young. A winner, but kind of a unique on.

Good nose. After being decanted for over an hour, it opened a little. The next day it was even better; however, this is a simple wine, nothing special for the money.

Good food wine. Full tempernillo fruit and good balance. A few harsh notes remain as the taste finishes. Maybe more time in the bottle will help even that aspect out.

Decanted for 2 hours. Dusty tannins and a plethora of spice. I did not taste any vanilla or oak. A solid bottle of wine.

Slightly corked bottle. Some of the underlying fruit was apparent, but flaw clouds any assessment.
