Castile, Spain. Caveat - this is an old review based on memory as I consumed this wine a while back. The nose has decidedly musky, woody, even animal aromas that need getting used to, much less enjoy, becos of the 100% Tempranillo grape? Not enough experience w Spanish wines to comment. For visuals, the colour is in a pinot noir shade of ruby. It is more enjoyable on the palate, presenting robust fruit and wood flavours yet have enough old world restrain not to mistake it for an Aussie red. This is definitely a well-made wine, but I just can't appreciate the gamey nose (7.5/10).
