Great producer in the very HOT vintage of 2003.  Again it shows producer over vintage.  At age 21, this wine is showing nicely. I would bet on release most critics would not have thought it would last past twenty years.  It is 100% Tempranillo.  Ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has cherries, sour cherries, slight vanilla and spice.  Medium bodied.  Tannins mostly resolved.  Lower acidity.  On the palate, this is complex.  Most of the fruit has faded but there are still some sour cherry notes.  Also some dried cherries and spices.  Good finish.  This really needs food at this point.  Roasted mushrooms are a good fit.  Drink now.
