Knows of dark cherries, blackberries, espresso, and our chocolate. Taste dark chocolate, dark cherries, raspberry, and leather. Lovely fruit and pronounced acidity. In a great place, but should age well for the next 5-7 years.

70% old vine Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. 15.5%
Color: deep dark purple to black. Reminded me of thick grape juice! Viscous legs. Agree with other comments about a fruit bomb! Nose: Intense. Fruit literally leaped out as I decanted the bottle. Complex aromas of berries, dark fruit and dark spices. Nice oak notes. Body/flavor: Full body. Complex flavors of lush sweet fruits; excellent balance. Continued to open in the glass Aftertaste: lingering, full lush flavors
Amazing after 18 years... still has time! And I look forward to another bottle in a few years

A little over the top, ripe fruit getting late harvest on the finish. Overall still in balance with lots of legs to go a few more years.

Deep garnet and color.
