Final bottle of six. It's a bit awkward in its mature secondary phase. It has intense berries and alcoholic heat mixed with mushroom and wood. Enjoyable if you can tolerate some cacophony. After all, it mixes Tempranillo with Cab Sauv. Was best in its youth, IMO. For the $34/bottle paid, I rate this a win.

Dark deep center, red rim with modest signs of age. Sweet, oven roast plums, old navy tobacco, lifting acidity, coconut and dill. Smooth dark chocolate and cherry juice, acidity to back it up, sweet maturity, ripe plums, vanilla and coconut with oak on the finish, great length with a touch of weedy tobacco. Doing very well in its development, good now but will do well for another few years. Some bottle variation on this wine - this is on the better end.

Last bottle and out with a bang. Fully mature, drinking exceptionally well.
