I wasn't sure about the rubbery tannins at first, but after letting it breathe for an hour the wine softened nicely and paired well with grilled lamb. The plum and berry notes are definitely there, making it a solid everyday red for the price.

That dense plum and berry aroma hits you right as you pour it, and the rubbery tannins actually settle into something interesting after a few minutes in the glass. Perfect for a chilly evening with a hearty stew.

The firm tannins give it a proper grip, and that dense plum and berry pulpiness makes it feel more substantial than most tempranillos at this price. I opened it with a casual dinner and it held up nicely through the whole bottle.
