Similar notes as the first bottle I drank - peppers, caramel, and earth on the nose, balanced tannins and acidity - but more muted than the other bottle. Maybe it's fading away.

(BODEGAS ARROCAL) COLOR-real dark; NOSE-great, cherry, massive fruit, terroir; TASTE-big fruit: black cherry, black currant, cassis; very INTRIGUING, gets more complex, makes you think like it's a $100 bottle; BIG FAN; RP-90, GV-91

hanging in there.. Got better as the evening went on. Still no rush on this one - very pleasantly surprised.

Earth, bit of barnyard, cherry. A bit hot. Good for the price.

This one evolved the best in the bottle, sweetness all over. Downside still bit headache afterwards.

Good nose, savoury but bit heady finish.
