First tried this six years ago and the tannins were rugged. Tonight they melt beautifully into an expressive wine rife with cherry, cedar and oak. Luxurious on the palate. Worth the wait!

Dark inky purple. First nose of dark fruit and spice. Second nose really opens up. More of the same along with cedar and wet stone. Smooth and silky with lingering finish. The tannins have softened very nicely. Aged well!

Gorgeous. For some reason I thought this was a cab sav, not a Tempranillo blend. I’m not a big Rioja fan, but this was like heavier bodied, New World twist on Rioja. Plum and raspberry on the nose, lots of red fruit, long smooth on the palate. This feels like it’s more than the 14.8% on the label. Reminds me of Clio, or Venge Scout’s Honor. This has plenty of life in it. Delicious, classy big fruity wine with plenty of years left in it.

Drinking surprisingly young, no sign of age. Rich dark fruit, intense and long finish, full body. If tasted blind I would guess 2012 or 2013.
