Tasted at Sabore in Orlando. Nose is earthy with undertones of strawberries and blueberries with a smokey edge as it opens up. Palate is nicely balanced with tannins up front giving way to a really nice acidity—not too much, not too little—with notes of brown sugar, blackberries and underripe plums.

PnP, ran through a vinturi, the nose is dark cherry, raspberry, slight floral elements mixed in. The palate starts out a tad tannic with fresh acidity backing it up, the tannins integrate with more air time and this becomes a silky smooth experience with cherry and earth tones taking the forefront. On the richer side with a medium finish, a fine expression of wine from this region of Spain.

From 75cl, perfect cork. Noticeably lighter than the "Brao" cuvée from the same vintage, this is still full-bodied, dark, intense raspberry-fruited and pungently aromatic. Silky tannins on the entry firm up a bit on the mid-palate, which has a nice bitter liquorice edge. Gorgeous now and for a couple of years to come. 90-91P

Agree with QUAFFNOV 2015 note. Two years later still showing well with very similar profile.

From 75cl, perfect cork. My TN of 23.09.2014 nails it; just add some sexy aromatic rosemary/thyme action. 90P
