  this wine opened up very nicely after 2 hrs. very floral nose with cherry, leather, and vanilla. the palate offers lots of cherry, leather and currant. some oak with firm well balanced tannins and good acidity. really enjoyed this wine.

  Not much nose, but it only breathed for about 20 min in the bottle. Opened up as dinner progressed. Cherry up front, not much else, maybe some coffee. Nice tannin finish. Simple wine, but good for everyday. Would drink it again.

  Blind Spanish Reds Tasting (Minneapolis, MN): Tasted blind. Strong aromas of dark fruit and oak. The tannins are noticeable, but in balance. The finish is long but lacks complexity. The runaway favorite of the tasting.

  From notes. Very full and complex for temparnillo. The finish was medium but consistent. I'd buy again.
