ON THE NOSE: Upon popping this 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) Spanish wine smelled like a used wet sponge (which I actually liked), but within moments it became creamy and full of vanilla; while no fruit-bomb it is already obvious that this bottle is not an old-world stink-bomb either. We like these middle-of-the-roaders! There is plenty of fine primary cherry fruit here, along with raspberry and even some cranberry, all coming straight at you, directly into the nose, riding on the fumes of the alcohol (14.5%); I’m not saying the alcohol vapors are strong, it's that they propel the fruit into the nostrils, and to distinguish the secondary- or tertiary-tiered bouquet – which is indeed extant – one has to smell above and below this fruit missile. We notice spice in the upper nose: nutmeg, white pepper, and this is where the vanilla resides as well. There is a definite sense of an eggnog flavor profile offered here, perhaps brought to mind from the nutmeg aroma, but, combined with the creamy aspect, eggnog is what we are reminded of. Mmmm … eggnog season is coming! . . . . . . . . . ON THE PALATE: This wine is relatively light, and gives a light feel in the mouth, but the tannic structure is wonderfully present which makes up for a less opulent mouthfeel. The acidity seems low but could just be a bit out of balance with the tannins, which is actually quite in line with the style that Darcey and I appreciate. The alcohol is wonderfully integrated. The wine dries the mouth quite nicely in our opinion, leaving the gums a bit puckered in a prefect, satisfying manner. We’ve only had this wine open for ten minutes and we are enjoying it tremendously already; hopefully we’ll exercise some restraint and afford this Spanish beauty some time to flex its muscles and spread its charms. We’ve learned to sip, but tasting the wine at every utterance of its discourse is what keeps us "wine enthusiasts" as opposed to mere consumers. . . . . . This stuff is good, people: real good! So good that Darcey and I enjoyed it for the rest of the night and completely dismissed the tasting notes. I thought I would remember what to write, but it has been weeks since we shared this bottle and I simply cannot recall another thing to say about it. It was, however, soft, supple, and wonderful. Sorry for the stunted and disjointed tasting notes, but this bottle was easily worth $24, and was extremely good to the last drop. I do recall we wanted to give it a 92 … so there you have it.
