Has suffered less from the heat than the Manyetes 2003 but has a distinctly burnt character, more international style owing to 50% non-indigenous grapes, leather and eucalyptus, good tannins, lacks length. Nice wine though.
Fantastic bouquet of cherry liqueur, Christmas pudding, vanilla custard; perfumed, exotic, richly tannic, well-rounded, good weight of fruit, needs a little more time. Drink 2009 - 2015.
Excellent new oak, sweet fruit, lovely sève, perfectly judged extraction, very well constructed, excellent balance, multi-dimensional. A crowd pleaser perhaps, but you can't fault it. RP 97 rather an exaggeration.
Rich and powerful, very closed, completely absorbed new oak, masculine and structured, fleshy, beautiful style, high alcohol but not port-like - on the contrary quite playful and very classy. In a league of its own in this tasting.

Rustic (70% Carinena), already quite developed, earthy, leathery, has not escaped the heat, lacks length.

Much livelier than the 2003, black fruit, creamy, juicy, much better tension and length; pleasant, serviceable.
