Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A good to very good wine with medicinality on the nose that takes over the aromatics. There’s also the slightest bit of hard cheese and stem on the bouquet, so overall it is fighting an uphill battle. Along the way it delivers flavors of cough drop, cherry and a good, solid finish.

If the name doesn’t say it clearly enough, then the excellent color, ripeness and well-toasted nose indicate that Neo is a modern-style wine. It’s from old vines, and the cherry, cassis and cola flavors are the real deal as far as Tempranillo goes. A really well-made wine that’s not too complicated or tannic to drink now. Best by mid 2008.

Neo Tempranillo - 2003

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Floral and fruity, with clean aromas. In the mouth, it’s saturated and intense as if offers up a meaty set of dense fruit flavors. Doesn’t show as much complexity, layering and variety as we might like to see, but it’s pretty flashy and good for a 2007, a vintage that was problematic in this region.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Floral, spicy, semi-oaky aromas precede a tangy, fresh, higher-acid palate with snappy raspberry and red cherry flavors. There’s an abundance of pop and snap to this medium-bodied wine, and then drying woody notes to the finish.

The broad, rich nose draws you in; unfortunately, the palate doesn’t deliver, as it seems jagged, tannic and spiky in its blackberry, plum, raisin and chocolate flavors. A good but unspectacular wine that’s devoid of touch and elegance.

Neo Tempranillo - 2005

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
We didn’t go crazy over the 2005 and the ’06 Sentido is also challenged. It’s soft, raisiny and borderline overripe. The flavors are roasted and short, with low acidity, soft tannins and plenty of toast and coffee on the black finish. More baked than vivacious, with some excess weight.

Neo Tempranillo Blend - 2006

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Smooth as silk and deep as night, this is a wonderful new-age wine with voluminous tree bark, maple and cassis aromas as well as a sweet undertext of perfume. The palate presents the truest mix of weight and finesse, and the finish is coffee, fine-knit tannins and length. Drinkable now with food, or hold for up to five years.

Neo Tempranillo - 2004

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Blackberry, rubber, dark fruit and a lactic note define the bouquet, which leads to a sizable, full-bodied palate with tea, herb and dark fruit flavors. Seems a little muddled even upon airing, but it sports good acidity along with earthy, toasty, coffee notes on the finish.
