Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): Lighter brick color. Has aged well. Have always wanted to try this bottling, and from such an early vintage was a true treat. Some rustic light cherry and strawberry notes. Barnyardy. Lots of acid. A little cantaloupe as well which is clearly unique for a red wine. Also some nice banana and sea breeze aromas as well. Classic palate displaying more bright red fruit, some rusty qualities. Elegant and feminine. Not your typical big Spanish bottling. Really enjoyable.
