I had the Ercavio Tempranillo a month ago and cannot agree with Gary. It has a awful artificial smell like somebody dropped rose parfume in it. It is very smooth to drink, too smooth for my taste. My first impression of this wine was not so bad, but I couldn’t drink more than one glas because the smell began to disgust me. In my opinion it is far from 90 Points. If you like to drink rose-water then I would give it 84P.
