  Blackberries and black cherries with vanilla and toasted oak. Soft tannins, full mouth feel, long finish
  Tastes much younger than 9 years. It should last a couple more years.
  
  Granacha and Tempranillo blend that tastes better than muc more expensive wines.

  Flavorful, but lacking any kind of complexity on the finish.

  My 2nd of 3 bottles. On first night had a glass. Very tight. Aearating opened it up but lost too much. Put cork in and waited a couple days. Wow! Completely opened up. Wonderful balance. Fruit bomb with strawberry/raspberry/blackberry - even something darker like prune. Tobacco/leather in background. Little bit of spice.
  
  Finish is nice and long, and can feel tannins begin to become more evident. Only one bottle left. Not sure how long to hold.

  Very drinkable and enjoyable. Good fruit and soft tannins. Not complicated. but pleasant. It's a real bargain at this price. It was almost better than a really good $80 wine we had last night (Sonoma County blend).
  
  We served an older vintage of this wine for our wedding in 2002. It was good then and is better now.

  It opened up after about an hour but still fell flat. Very light on the nose and a non existent finish. Mid palate was decent but that's the end of it.
