Monthly Tasting Group: Spain (Rincon 38, Mpls, MN): Very dark red/purple color. Drank a small glass over 30 minutes. Same bottle as Bellissimo. I agree with Matt's evauation. This is modern for sure with bold ripe dark fruit, a bit muted on the nose. Calls for some roasted meat.

Brought to an offline. Sat opened for 2+ hours before we got around to this; brought a little home for later; note from then. Bottle can be used as a defensive weapon! I'd hate to pay for shipping on these. Black fruit dense but integrated, has that coffee/mocha flavor going for it. Modern but not extracted and no noticeable vanilla. Interesting discussion at our table if this used French oak which we guessed it did. Similar to a Clio though less of a cocktail wine than that.
