  Found three bottles tonight buried behind newer cab, so opened it. delicious, nice balance of fruit, tannins and spice, will go great with tonight's grilled pork. very surprised at how much fruit there it after all these years. and low alcohol to boot. my compliments to Justin.

  Best of three bottles. Very well integrated, powdery tannins. Some cedar. Acidity and fruit in great balance. Excellent food wine. The best iteration of non-Spanish Tempranillo I've had.

  Ruby red in color. Some oak and spice on the nose, if blind might have guessed a Cabernet. Full bodied and with hints of cherries and pepper and a good balance between some fruit and earth flavors. Smooth and silky tannins have mellowed but still give plenty of backbone. Very enjoyable.

  BeachMBA has it right. Gave as much pleasure as Penfolds 707 '99 we had the night before. It is all there, plenty of stuffing, but not CA fruit bomb. Super with steak, sauce maitre d'hotel. Looking forward to the other bottles over the next 2 years
