Tasting note:

Savoury and meaty and juicy… love this wine every year! They need a new graphic designer for their label but what’s inside the bottle really delivers so what the heck. Classic, almost Bordeaux nose and structure with a dusty, leathery, dried herb vein that’s simply sensational.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Dan Trcka rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

The 2008 Alejandro Fernandez Tinto Pesquera Crianza, composed of 100% Tempranillo that was aged in oak barrels for 18 months, is a medium bodied wine, with intense aromas of integrated to aged red berries, oak, coconut and vanilla. Tannins are refined (decant for 30 min) and a finish is long. Drink now or for the next 5+ years. My impression: BEAUTIFUL, 91 pts - recommended buy. Aug/12.
