  Deep beautiful purple center fading to an intense brilliant ruby red. On the nose, I picked up cherries and a strange barnyard quality that I cannot put my finger on. A bit of cinnamon and vanilla lingers near the end. The flavor completely contrasted the smell to me. It was bland, boring, tight and lacked any drama. I wasn't impressed. The flavors where impossible for me to pick out because I felt like I was drinking flavored water.

  Bodegas Aljibe (Actual 11/23/05 Reserva y Cata): 50% Granacha, 25% Syrah, 25% Tempranillo
  Deep red w/purple core, though light in concentration. Deep raspbery nose with light vanilla, cherry, and some faint herbal notes. In the mouth it shows big body with strong acids and firm tannins. Fruit is hidden with the, in my opinion, overly extracted tannins covering up everything. Oak isn't really a factor, with some nice cherry hiding in there somewhere. Basically a tough wine to drink without the fruit to support the struture. 2.5/5
