I actually thought this was a gorgeous wine. Incredibly smooth, soft and gentle, with all the dark brooding flavours of plumb and fruit that is 9 years old. Don't expect over flavours like you would with a typical Spanish. This is soft and gentle.
People reckon this should be drunk by 2013, I personally think it has legs for another 5 years.
I decanted it for an hour and had it with steak. The good life.
Mine was not corked.

Big dark fruit steering towards chocolate and coffee. Tannins are very gripping at this point but a nice prune-laden finish. Most people would find this delicious!

My experiences with wines from this part of Spain are essentially nonexistent. What a surprise this was! Exotic nose of earth, subtle charcoal, lithe red fruit and dried florals. Medium-bodied with a nice finish.
