  Pleased to be trying this again after three years. Clear, medium ruby, with garnet hues on the rim. The nose is clean, developing, medium (+) in intensity, with ripe red cherry, black plum, black pepper, tar, mediterranean herbs, savory spices and a hint of Christmas fruitcake -like mix of vanilla, dried fruit and baking spices. The palate is dry, but with plenty of fruit. The tannins are still medium to medium (+), polished but still astringent. The acidity is medium, the alcohol is medium (+) to high (14%). This wine is medium (+) bodied, with medium (+) flavor intensity and a medium long, pleasantly bitter, finish of black licorice. This is first and foremost a great food wine. It is still drinking well and is probably at its peak. Still, it should continue to be fine for several more years. This is a consistent, killer value in the $13-$18 price range. 89+

  Still good, a little clumsy. Drink up.

  Enjoyable but without a soul. On the nose predominate aromas of floor forest plants, black fruits and notes of pastry. The promised sweetness does not reach in the mouth. Even shows a bit astringent. Another uncomplicated although effective bottle.
  Once again agreed with CT mates.
  
  Aprovechable pero bastante simple. En nariz predominan los aromas a sotobosque, a frutos negros y a notas de pastelería. A la boca no llega ese dulzor prometido. Incluso se muestra un poquito astringente. Otra botella simplota aunque efectiva.
  Una vez más de acuerdo con los colegas de CT.
