Last of 4 bottles - didn't take any notes but my prior notes are still on point. Both a crowd pleaser given the fruit and with appeal to wine snobs. Clearly at peak but no sign of oxidation. 93+/-

What a great wine! It always is. Delicious even with a PnP. One of the best values in a Spanish wine. Wines like this are why I am plowing through my cellar to consume the wide variety of wine I have so I can replace then with wines like this that are always great, year-in, year-out.

Big, rich, and powerful, but very balanced, with earthy notes of black cherries, minty herbs, oak, and bottle age complexity. It's unsurprisingly youthful, yet approachable, especially with air. The flavors turn juicy and succulent after 1+ hour in the decanter, with Tootsie Roll intensity on the long, sapid finish. Impressive finesse for such a massive wine.

Excellent at 10 years old. Still has more life. Paired well with steamed artichokes and smoked mackerel. Enjoyable to sip after dinner.
