Decent color but sorry wine. Medium bodied, tannic wine with dull fruit and certainly not enough acidity to make this wine interesting. I poured most out. Day 2: I hate to waste wine, but the rest was poured out. This is what gives Spain a bad name in the wine world. Worst wine I have had in recent memory.

Apperently just the dreggs from Martin Codax, but what fun dreggs they are. Now, with some time in the bottle almost like an odd crossing between Chinon cab franc and a super extracted gamay. With some coffee overtones, of course. Fun little wine!

REally nice wine that stands out for its balance and texture. This is a full-bodied red with a velvetiness that is just wonderfull. Red cherry and kirsch on the nose. Fine grained tannins on the palate. Makes this an elegant wine that can stand up to flavorful or acidic foods. Nice.
