This was our first 100% Tempranillo. We have had several Spanish blends that use Tempranillo and have enjoyed them very much. We drank this wine last night with beef tacos and corn on the cob. It was enjoyable, but not particulary memorable. The nose and taste were dark berries, with an earthy/leathery/herbal quality. It was a dry, medium bodied wine, which was fortunately not overpowered by oak.
I picked up the Legado de Barros at Ed's Fine Wines on the advice of the sales guy who recommended it as a good value. That's all I really had to go on, since I couldn't find much information about this wine online at all. I probably wouldn't buy this particular wine again as there are just so many Spanish wines I like and others I want to try, but I'm glad I gave it a shot.
