    Stephen Tanzer 90/100 Wine Enthusiast 90/100 CellarTracker 88/100 (103 notes from 79 users ) Wine & Spirits Magazine 84/100 Jancis Robinson 16.5/20 Decanter 15/20 2010+ Rich and perfumed on the nose, this bursts on the palate with juicy flavours of boysenberry, sweet vanilla and spice-infused black cherry. It’s mid weight with a generous texture and a lengthy balanced and fruity finish. This is an outstanding example of well-made Tempranillo and deserves to be poured alone or with a generous helping of prime roast beef

    Bottle was off. Also has the flavor that Shannon dislikes.
