  tertiary leather and mocha dominates. color is still inky and does not brick at rim. speaks nothing of spain, tempranillo or cabernet. All i can say is its fully mature and super modern.

  Aged to perfection. Silky smooth and rich. Wish I had more.

  Popped and ran through a Haley's corker/aerator, aromas of musky earth and dark fruit. Full bodied w/tobacco, dark fruits, leather, plum and a long finish. Should go for another couple years easily. Excellent!

  Dark, muddy-garnet. Concentrated, deep chocolate, praline, black plum, tobacco, and balsamic aromas carry over to an integrated palate adding some smoke, flint and salty-rock-mineral, licorice, and rustic leathery flavors. Surely would have been oaky and bombastic in its youth, but now it's a big wine tamed by optimal bottle age.

  Excellent fruit and clean earth aroma. Smooth mouth feel with cool tannins. Flavors of spice and dark red fruits. Balanced finish, expressive but without lingering.
