Another excellent vintage of this Washington State Tempranillo! Deep ruby core with a garnet rim. Intense aromas of black raspberry, dried herbs, baking spices and graphite . Black raspberry/cherry fruit on the palate with notes of beef jerky, orange zest, baking spices and dried herbs. Long and earthy finish. Medium-plus body and quite fruit forward and savory. Nicely concentrated with fine grained tannins. This bottle was perfectly aged. — a year ago

Despite its age, this was fantastic. Part of a three year vertical. Looking forward to the ’05 and ‘06. Thanks to el Jefe. — a year ago
