Campo Vieja Tempranillo Reserva 2004
This is a big Spanish Rioja from a reputable grower. Unfortunately this bottle, at least, proved to be well over the hill. The blend of cherry and dark berry was just barely discernible under the tannin and oak, with a discernibly bitter aftertaste. You may want to put up the sale price of $10.99 on the chance of snagging a good bottle, but it's a definite risk.
