parsing recent drinkers' notes, decanted (light sediment) & served 15 minutes cool from cellar (maybe 60 F); dark crimson; especially mineral, granite, black raspberry & black plum; med weight; conveys a very specific soil quality w/fruit as the supporting element; strongly acidic in the best fruit - skin sense. mencia w/no wood imprint, really lingering palate impact. will tuck a few away, just to see what happens.

Pretty and interesting fruitiness. A bit of grapiness not a bad thing in the totality.

Very delicious with intensity of dark red fruit and minerals. Good match with grilled pork chops but would be with many things.
