This is an inexpensive 100% Tempranillo grape from Spain. It is a modern take on this wine. Ruby in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose has cherries and candied cherries with a slight herbal note. Medium bodied. On the palate, cherries. Simple and one dimensional but enjoyable. Moderate finish. Drink over the next year or two. Better with food, pizza is a nice choice.
This is drinking well and seems to be at or possibly just pack peak. It is a pretty modern take on Tempranillo but with some bottle age it shows traditionally. Purple in color, ruby at the rim, opaque and bright. The nose is nice with cherries, cedar and spice. Full bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, cherries with spice and slight smoke. Nice finish. This is ageing gracefully and doesn't seem almost twenty years old. That said, these should be drunk up at this point. Nice on its own but better with food. It would work well
This is a Tempranillo wine. Deep ruby in color. The nose has cherries,black cherries and baking spice. Also some dustiness. On the palate, this has a nice texture. It is warm and dusty with black cherry fruit. Some complexity. Nice finish. This will still get better but it is drinking well right now. Another few years and it should be close to peak. It will go well with roasts and grilled meats.
This is 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo). Garnet in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with black cherries, dusty attic notes and some cherries. Medium bodied with good acidity. On the palate, tart black cherries and some cherries with underlying char. Seems to be about at peak right now but should drink well for another three to five years. This is nice on its own and will work well with meats and fowl. A nice wine for a sausage pizza.
Purple in color. The nose is tight but with air shows some black cherries. On the palate, this has sweet fruit/dark cherries. It is modern in style and a fruit forward Tempranillo. It retails for around $22. Plan on drinking it in the next five years or so. It is a very tasty wine. Good value as well.
This is one of the great wines of the world. It is 100% Tempranillo (locally called Tinto Fino). This particular bottle was a magnum! Wow. It is still quite young and probably could have used a 24 hour decant. That said, it was gorgeous. Purple in color.
