It’s closed...needs a few hours to open....staying very flat and one-dimensional.

Violets bloom on the nose, and as it opens it works it’s way onto the palate with a TON of grace and fine-yet-lovely tannins. The mid-palate of this Tempranillo is one of the most accessible and expressive wines that I’ve ever had at its price.
And here I thought the secret of great, affordable Spanish wines had been exposed. The Obalo is a stand-out.

6/2021. Deep purple, feel nice on the palate. Paired well with the pork rib chops.

Young and needs more time. Kinda flat and singular. Enjoyable now but better in a few years.
