We opened the 2010 Zarpado late this afternoon, venturied it, and gave it a tasting. I think we're a little too late. It's not sour cherry we're getting but the first beginning of going over the hill -- just a slight hint. If you still have this, 5 years after its vintage, I wouldn't recommend it for guests.

Not great but not terrible. A little on the earthy side for my tastes. Not a fruit forward vino, with hints if spice, leather, wood, charcoal and some berry. Not sure I would buy again, but I'm not spitting this one out either.

I've been getting this from Sam's club and have bought many bottles over the last 6months and their inventory is usually small so reason I buy it when ever they have I usually have a glass with an Italian dish and then a glass after dinner and enjoy the bouquet and clarity

Needs a little more time. It's not bad now, but will get better.

Ok for the price but would not buy again
Smoky taste and very little aroma
