  90% Tinto Fino, 10% Cab Sauv, cork sealed (and a stubborn tightly fitting one at that)
  
  Very lifted creosotey nose (I wonder if they thought the barrels needed protection from the elements?), with some milk chocolate in support, with dark fruits gasping for air. Impressive yes, but a bit passé?
  
  On the palate, again feels like it's built to impress. The tannins are fine yet grippy, there's deep blackberry fruit (with an orange accent) and acidity supports the frame. This really feels like a show pony. It's initially impressive and shouts 'I'm an important well made wine", yet in time it becomes tiresome. Maybe on another day I'd appreciate it better, but tonight I find it overblown and obvious.

  Nose had tar, cocoa, and a touch of tobacco, as well as very slight hints of popcorn, . Medium bodied wine... nice legs. The tar flavors were noted in the body as well as plum and dark cherry. Not overly tannic but noticeable.
