Wine critic review: 87 Points, Robert Parker - The 2007 Ebano 6 is 100% Tempranillo aged 4 months in French oak. Dark ruby red in color, it displays a pleasant bouquet of cedar, spice box, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. Medium- to fullbodied on the palate with savory flavors and plenty of spice, this racy, vibrant Tempranillo has enough structure to drink well over the next 5-6 years and is a very good value.
My review: I was not a huge fan of this wine. The black cherry and spice combination was a little too strong for me. A very structured wine nonetheless. The nose featured cedar and blackberry, smells I am not too fond of. I know some of my friends would enjoy this wine, it just wasn't for me. I did not pair this wine with food.
