Dark purple in appearance with a nose reminiscent of a raspberry leather and tobacco. This medium-bodied Crianza is quite appealing with intriguing flavors of red fruits, aged leather, spice and aged cigar box integrated very nicely together with impressions of Tasmanian Leatherwood blossoms. The finish is quite smooth, refined and memorable. An impressive wine for the price.

Nose has cherry and a hint of funk, maybe even barnyard. Leathery and acidic. The finish is a pleasant length although the wine seems a bit thin, possibly past its prime? I remember drinking this same wine about a year ago and loving it. Nice with grilled chicken seasoned with lots of paprika, garlic and thyme.

Perhaps past its time. Cork was shredded.

Tobacco and dill on nose, pretty cherry fruit in mouth. Light to medium body. Primary concentration has faded but secondary flavors yet to develop.
