Quite dark still, not much in terms of discolouration. On the nose old leather, earthy notes, spices, dried fruit. Quite linear and thin on the palate, not much fruit left and slightly drying towards the finish, the acidity sticking out a little. Medium length. Drink up. 87-89

Unfortunately stored too long, would have been better at the age of 12. Nevertheless still a very intense nose. Bouquet of blackberries, figs, port wine, tobacco.

A nice blend of old world rusticity with new world fruit styling. Effusive nose of earthy notes and red fruit. Palate is medium bodied and well balanced with acidity providing framing. More funky earth notes add some interest. Medium finish.

My husband and I drank this the night after I catalogued all our wines and realized that some were possibly passing their prime according to the drinking window. This said to drink before '09 and I have to say it was delicious but I am also a huge fan of Spanish wines!!

Deep colour. Heavy on tobacco, plum and cherries. Taste follows nose with the plum and the cherries. Very good now but better in two years?
