Many years ago I bought the 2009 Prima and wrote about it- I liked the wine and my clumsy notes reflected that so when I saw this 2015 it took zero time for me to add it to my cart.  I think I paid $13 for this Tempranillo.  It is deep ruby in the glass and the nose has medium intensity aromas of dried cherry, blackberry jam, charred wood, leather and earth.  The palate is dry with medium acidity and medium (+) tannins.  High alcohol and medium (+) body with medium intensity flavors of black cherry, dried black cherry, blackberry, charred wood and those typical Spanish notes of leather and earth.  The finish is decent in length and is nice and tannic.  I like this wine and will go 90 points, it will drink well till 2026 and pair with charred steak.  For the price it gets 5 stars from me.  Glad I ran into an old friend.  Salut….
