  Nineteeneightytwo's review is spot on, but to me it merits a higher score due to the complexity and balance. This wine was a surprise to me. I randomly picked it up from a wine shop because it looked like it might be good. I love this trend of dark Spanish wines being made new-world style with dense extraction, in-your-face tannins, and bright acidity. The tannins are dusty/chalky, the palette is dark-fruity, and it has layers of complexity and a medium to long finish. I didn't decant, but I did notice that it got better the longer it breathed in my glass. More patience would probably be rewarded. On night two, this is just as good.

  Opaque rosewood color. Aromas of bramble, ripe blackberries, dried ginger, and shoe leather. The palate is brooding, with black fruit accented by abrupt tannins. Initially this seemed a little too Internationally-styled for my liking, but some air allowed a more subtle range of flavors to show through. I'm inclined to wait a few years for my next bottle, and would advocate for 2+ hours of decanting if you'd like to enjoy this now.
