  Similar to last year's bottle. Definitely has matured from a couple years ago and has a rich profile of tobacco, cherry, mushroom.

  Magnum was much more closed and backwards than the regular bottle which was singing right off the bat. Decant magnums or better keep them in the cellar for 2-3 more years.

  Nose is black cherry and tobacco. Palate is unctuous and dark fruity. Quite Satisfying.

  Very interesting. This has definitely progressed since I tasted this two years ago. The oak has blown off and overall it is much more integrated. Nose is black cherry and tobacco. Palate is unctuous and dark fruity. Satisfying.

  Immediately appealing but gets much better with air. A 75% Garnacha dominated red blend (with roughly equal parts Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon). Warm toned aromas of cranberry-pomegranate-red currant fruit and some mineral smokiness that smooths out with air time. Palate has pedigree and discipline, not all over the place like some Spanish Garnacha bombs; well structured, with vinous notes of delicate but tart red fruit, meat, smoke, ending with tannic grip and moderate length. I had this with apple wood smoked ham and left-over sage dressing. I believe it would show better with a meat that is not so sweet. Good now until 2016?
