Bastante concentrado, estilo moderno e com a madeira ainda muito evidenciada. Um vinho com muito potêncial de evolução e que pede decantação. Notas de especiarias, cassis, tostado e mineral. Boa acidez e taninos firmes. Incrívelmente estruturado e concentrado para a safra, que foi mediana. Persistente. Excelente/Excepcional.

Spain: Day 5 - the Sherry extravaganza at Casa Barquin (Granada): this wine trully needs a lot of time before its judged faitly. there is a LOT of oak, but i dont usually like oak - here its not as obtrusive and rough. very sweet red fruit - this is a modern wine but the concentration, the acidity and the dry cherry in the poallate make me think that this is going to be a relly good wine.

This was the 3rd year in a row I tried this wine at the WS Grand Tour. The 2002 was a step below both the 1999 and 2000 which I rated as follows: 1999 Malleolus- 92 points. 2000 Malleolus- 91 points. The 2002 was filled with spices, red berries and leather notes. A dry wine and medium bodied. 90-91 points.

Too young. Tannic as hell, almost undrinkable, even after three hours.
