  Decanted off the medium-plus sediment.
  The nose comes scented with blueberry, blackberry, fig paste, and kirsch notes that are steeped with vanilla, floral pastilles, baking spice, and shisha that come with hints of slate, burnt sugar, black licorice and mocha.
  On the palate the wine enters with smooth, polished, moderate tannins and juicy acidity. Flavors of melted black licorice, fig paste, blackberry, Kirsch, vanilla and shisha that evolve to bring in notes of baking spice, slate and mocha that linger through the finish.
  
  Still drinking well, but past its prime window.
  
  70% Old vine Carinena, 15% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in new French oak for 14 months

  70% Old vine Carinena, 15% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in new French oak for 14 months. Deep dark ruby. w/ intense black fruit, blue fruit, dried fruit grilled herbs, black licorice, mocha and baking spices. Dry, w/ med acid, med+, polished tannins and high alcohol. Full-bodied, with med+ to intense flavors, consistent with the nose and a nice long finish. Drinking great at 15 years, with several years of aging potential left.

  Great flavor and body, unfortunately cork had to be broken out and needed to strain wine, lots of sediment so to pay this much and have these problems was disappointing.
