Another stunning wine. Tempranillo nose and finish on the palette. Tobaccos, figs, dark berry, dark cherry.

Ripe, only black fruit, plenty of concentration, smells like a naughty, Shapley, tanned Argentinian lady wearing little but a silk shift. Supple and silky in the mouth, great for a juan night stand but maybe to predictable for the long term.

Wicked collection of Spanish Vino on tasting @boccacciocellars today! 2007 Roda 1 at $80 a highlight, layered & refined, would of liked a gentler hand with the oak. 2011 Sela wicked value at $40 needs some time to settle. 2012 Rey del Mundo old world rustic style. Good value at $18. #FilthyGoodVino #FilthyNowVino #Wine #SpanishWine #tempranillo

The best wine I had in Barcelona. Perfectly balanced yet powerful and a bit brooding.

Very young in appearance and fruit profile. A bit closed on opening and took some time to open up. Long lingering finish, minerals and a small creamy note.

2001 vintage, drinking in 2020. Nice flavor of dark fruits. Pretty heavy tannins.

Roses, roasted plums, thyme and stone effortlessly lift from the glass as the wine opens up. Thick, dark, saturated red (almost black) of silky cherries, roasted meat and beautifully integrated tannins in a palette that seems almost endless.

WOW. Smooth, round, thoughtful. Ripe mature mixed fruit stood up by soft oak. Golly - just incredible!
