Plums on nose. Plenty of tannins. Chewy. Not as balanced as I like.

A great balance of fruit and tannins. Marvelous with food, hints of clove, spice, suede, stem, cocoa.

Very bland, had no flavor was extremely harsh on the pallet. Very acidic almost like it was filled with lime juice? Weird

I like tempranillo by default. This one is not exceptional but gives a satisfactory palette of tannins and hint of fruit. A good deal under $10.
