A hidden gem! There are so many undiscovered wines in Spain...This is one of them. Masculine, rich on the palate and very chewy! |

Appearance: Deep purple, thin ruby rim. Very solid, awesome value for the price ($10.98). Might benefit from some bottle age, maybe another year or two. 14%abv |

A bit soft with a sour barnyard nose to it. This did blow off with a bit of time open and gave way to some nice cherry, and raspberry fruit. Light spice on the palate made this a fun drink, though I will be drinking up! This wine is at or past peak. 3/5 |

Good dark pit fruit and berries. Notes of mesquite and bacon fat. Nice concentration with smooth tannins, good finish. |

Okay. Overblown like most of the other Spanish wines I've had. Chocolate, black fruit, and alcohol. Better on day 2. Visit my website: Vinotrip 2 of 2 people found this useful |

Very attractive sweet red cherry fruit gently dried in oak. This wine is enjoyable and a good value, but one does have the feeling that the fruit has been stretched to its utter limit to achieve this. |

Initially somewhat less layered than in the past but seemed to improve as the night went on. Cleaner fruit this time around. Perhaps a little less interesting. Cherry, plum, raspberry and oak. A little earth coming around toward the end. |

Strong pepper with a little hint of sour cherry. Also had a slight "old world" mustiness to it. Good wine for the money. |
