At the beginning cherries and some vanilla notes was Fidel to the wS review, but as dinner develops more complexities open up. Cherries meet chocolate as some good vintage ports would bring... In the mouth nice acidity strong tannins give to ripe fruit cherries and blackberries and chocolate after tones Very nice 92

14% alcohol. thick legs with rasberries, jam and anise on the nose. solid acidity on the palate, smoothed out tannins and rasberry, toast, granite, licorice and cherry flavors are dense and delicious. time has really integrated all the aspects of this wine. it's dense, but well-balanced and there's a nice cherry liquer aspect on the finish.

Fine Wines of Spain (The Landmark Hotel, London NW1): Made from Grenache, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon this wine is aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months. Ruby in colour with a bright red edge. The nose shows rich concentration of fruit. The palate displays intense plums and damsens.
Tasted during the "Fine Wine of Spain" session (run by John Radford) at the Decanter Fine Wine Encounter.
