A deep opaque plum/garnet color is accompanied by noticeable sweet toasty oak in the nose along with copious quantities of black cherry and cassis fruit. Extremely youthful, vigorous, and full-bodied, with notes of over-ripeness, low acidity, moderately high tannin, and a full-bodied, layered, concentrated personality.
Smooth and rich Spanish red, showing mature notes of coffee, cedar and earth, with a core of plum and prune flavors that builds on the palate, then lingers on the finish. It's firm, yet generous, ripe and balanced.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
