Still red/violet, hard to detect browning. $12.49 label still present. While this was an off year, it still has plenty of secondary characteristics if not much fruit. There's tobacco, leather and American oak galore with a little cherry fruit peeking through. Palate is disjointed and finishes thin with plenty of acid remaining. Still, for 12 & a half bucks it was an interesting and nice smelling experiment.

ordered for the table. tommasso recommended this from his end of bin selections. enjoyed with mr. and mrs. t. and mr. and mrs. y. a pleasant but modest spanish wine. some fruit. not much body. a little tired. probably more enjoyable in the 1990's.

This wine exceeded our expectations. Elegant and well balanced. I would consume what I have over the next few years.

Deep color. Sweetisch Nose of smoke, mushrooms, tobacco. Loads of tannins but lacks structure balance them.
