  Clear deep ruby/garnet with big colourful legs; clean medium plus nose of cassis, cocoa, florality and black licorice; dry; high acidity; medium plus tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of stewed fruit and balsamic; medium plus finish; just beginning to develop tertiary notes - delicious now but will be more interesting in 5 more years; right now blinds as a young super Tuscan

  Not even close to a classic Spanish wine, feels more like a Napa cap with lower fruit, like isle were a bit older but very good.

  Lovely cassis on the nose, tobacco, spices, mocha, undergrowth and mineral notes. On the palate approachable as the tan is are well integrated and round, but still rather tights and grippy. Cool fruit, lots of depth, layered and very very long. Fantastic. Hold. 93-94+

  Matter of Taste: Wine Advocate Tasting (Miami, FL): Dark fruits, slight oak, complex and layered flavors. Grippy tannins. Needs at least 5 more years; winemaker agreed. (Doris 93 YES)

  Good grippy texture, a bit young, this wine will last long. Aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant along with black pepper, bell-pepper spices and box wood. Black fruit and herby finish
