  This wine is a blend of 85% Bobal and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose on this wine is rich with lovely and pure dirt, with rich barnyard, and yes real barnyard, followed by freshly tilled earth, soy sauce, ripe plum, and mushroom. The mouth on this medium bodied wine is rich and impressively structured for such an old wine, showing really nice acidity, still integrated tannin, with an inky mouthfeel of velvet and texture with crazy mushroom, earth, barnyard, dark concentrated fruit, blackberry, ripe fruit, perfectly balanced with ripe currant, dark red forest berry, and green notes. The finish is long and tart with more dirt, and incredible barnyard, showing still gripping tannin, and nice ripe and rich fruit. The oak does not show strongly in the mouth but it’s influence is felt nicely. BRAVO!!
  
  This wine came from a more direct source than my previous note - and I think it is a vastly different wine than the one I tasted earlier.

  Clearly past its prime, showing a very dull finish. Still, very fruit forward on the front, and still decent enough. Drink NOW though.
