You are right; the 2001 vintage is 100 % Tempranillo. It is terrific. I think it needs a little bottle aging; it's 14.5% alcohol. But the fruit sure covers it well now. It is a great food wine and I think generally the Spanish wines have gone up dramatically in quality recently. Try 2000 Las Gravas [Jumilla]; it's pure dynamite. It's around 15/16 dollars and worth every cent.
