I found this a better wine than the consensus opinion, 86.3 at the time of this note. It may have been unsettled in its youth, but is now a nicely integrated offering. The concentration is good, structure and mouthfeel are stalwart (grainy tannins), lots of meaty, herbaceous, and mineral notes throughout. Solid finish. It does show some heat but that is par for the course with such wines. 88-89.

Better than my previous 2 bottles, making me wonder if they weren't slightly corked. This one had a better nose, more evident fruit and an earthy quality that reminded me of a CDR.

Nariz mineral para una mezcla de Syrah con CS y Merlot Por desgracia esa mineralidad tuerce hacia una nariz medicinal En boca calentito, desequilibrado. Sensación en boca áspera, ¿Quién necesita esto?

Good QPR. Held up well in the fridge for a second night.

Slightly porty nose, akin to a Sicilian red on the palate, yet less ripe, and a dry finish. Seems to be higher than the stated 14% ABV.
84-85

Very nice. Followed up a CDR and stood up quite well - similar old-world balance of earth and spice with modest but tasty fruit.

Great QPR. Earthy, with restrained fruit.

Enofusión 2013 (Including Vega Sicilia´s Macan) (IFEMA - Madrid): Mineral nose for a Syrah coupage with CS and Merlot
By disgrace that minerality turns to a medicinal nose
Hottie, unbalanced on the palate. Harsh mouthfeel so who needs this?
