Tonight I promised no Pinot and I have decided to open a Spanish Tempranillo. I can totally get behind a Tempranillo when it is done right and this one has all the earmarks of a top notch wine. At first whiff I get beautifully rich smoky aromas of cherry, cassis, cola, licorice and rain soaked soil. On the palate are deep silky fruit, blackberry, blueberry, black currant, cherry juice, dusty tannins with a good long finish. A very nice example if a 100% Tempranillo.

With tomorrow eve 5.12 in mind (gourmetten) already opened this bottle.
Really fancy this powerhouse though I never bought it again after this vintage. Have to find a new release. At 13 year only structure gives away any aging. Nose full of chocolate and dark cherries. In the mouth sweets of vanilla, fudge and darkberries. Yummie wine!

What a way to start the week!!
Not showing any age at all! Spanish powerhouse. Beautiful nose with loads of sweets: chocolate, cola, cinnamon, almondpaste, candied cherries. Super smooth and silky mouthfeeling. In the mouth it adds some layer over the sweets which makes it more then simple sweet wine. Well balanced, withholding some acidity and well dosed bitters. Very good wine.
