Well, damn!
Sit back and enjoy these precious moments, because they don’t come that
often. This Tempranillo certainty began with some quality fruit and add
to that a winemaker’s skillful talent, plus an owner’s patience in allowing the
bottle to cellar in a constant temperature for years and you’ve got yourself a
fine present! Although the wine was quite strong when first opened, it
settled down quite nicely after an hour. Some of the fruit flavors have
faded, yet it still held up very well. Overall, it had a good balance of fruit.
Notes of plum and pepper stood out for
this 11-year-old Texas wine. The tannins likewise held up well allowing
for a pleasant lingering finish. This one could still hold the test of time for
a couple of more years, but we were awfully glad we had the chance to enjoy it
now. Cheers to another fine Texas Tempranillo!
