  Incredible value. Medium ruby with no signs of aging. Medium intensity on the nose with ripe black berries and herbs. Delicious dark fruit with roasted meat and cigar box on the palette. Dry with medium plus acidity. 14.5% abv that is well integrated and adds to the silky texture. Very good quality for and 18 year old wine that shows no signs of slowing down. If you have a few in your cellar, hold on and enjoy.

  Let bottle breath for an hour. Herbaceous and ripe, dark fruit on the nose. Palate is medium bodied with dark plum, blackberries, blueberries, and an earthiness. Silky and elegant mouthfeel. Balanced with a long lingering finish. Delicious!

  Part of a budget priced Spanish wines night with my wine group. All the wines were opened, but not decanted for at least 45 minutes before pouring. This wine was the surprise of the night. I probably paid less than $20 for it, years ago, and was sure it would be past its prime, yet it was probably the group's second favorite (out of 5 reds) of the night. Long finish, bright dark fruit on the nose, spice and fruit on the palate.

  Much more refined and subtle than last bottle two years ago. Herbaceous black fruit.
