14% alc...blast from my past...no signs of aging, color super rich, nose of cocoa, black fruit, cedar, earth, wet asphalt, tobacco...palate is all giving, unctuous, silky, dried red and black fruit, good acidity, relatively little tannin, hazelnuts...showing age, but not completely dried out...drink up.

14% alc...ahhhhhhhhh the dreaded 02 vintage...50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Garnacha, 20% Carinena, 10 months new French oak...2ND NITE...First night this wine was tight, though tonight makes me think this wine might be in the shallow part of the offering pool...fresh, slightly stewed red berries on the nose...palate is medium-full, fairly big backbone of tannin, some heat, rich or ripe fruit on the palate, all dark dark fruit, ending in astringent tannins...does this have the stuffing to pull through...rating withheld, wait and see...
