  A WTSO SPECIAL. Great nose, but limited Palate.
  
  Color. Saturated red.
  
  Nose. Subtle blackberry, bran, graphite, no alcohol burn. Very elegant.
  
  Palate. Cherries, oak, simple finish. No tannins or acidity.

  Drunk during my trip through northern central Spain ((Valladolid) and on into Porto with a stop in Chaves at the Casino. Not a terribly exciting wine, but not a bad wine either. Well made, but not special, considering the vintage. A solid 89 points.

  Decent sense of variety in place. Otherwise, quite fruity, decidedly oaky, and generally pretty bland. Concentrated and well made, even in its modern style. Otherwise, unmemorable.

  Medium-bodied, with an earthy, olive and red plum character, the wine is forward, soft, polished and accessible, leaving you with an earthy cherry core of fruits. The wine was made from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

  Licorice, smoke and cherry liqueur scents on the nose bring you to a medium bodied, red berry, olive-oriented wine. With a quick touch of herbs to complicate matters. The wine was made from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and reached 14% alcohol.
