  See previous note, feels like it has lost a step but is still quite nice.

  Clean medium ruby/garnet; clean medium plus nose of blackberry jam, leather, barnyard and vanilla; dry; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of cocoa; long finish; drink now; nose suggests fruit bomb but palate is more refined and intriguing; not as intense/fruity as our last two bottles - drink up or wait depending on your preference

  Coupage de Tempranillo 66%, Cab. Sauvignon 24%, Syrah 8% y Merlot 2% con una crianza de 12 meses en barrica de roble francés y americano. Alc. 14,5% vol. Color rojo rubí oscuro con capa alta. Nariz de matices ahumados y torrefactos, especias varias, frutos maduros rojos y sobre todo negros. En boca tiene mucho volumen y amplitud, taninos sólidos pero accesibles, alcohol/acidez a tono, madera bien calibrada con la fruta, cuerpo alto y final largo con apuntes de café. Muy rico ahora y con estructura para recorrido.

  Clear deep ruby/garnet; clean medium plus nose of cassis, blackberry jam, loamy soil, barnyard, cigar box and black olives; dry; high acidity; medium plus tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; pronounced flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of cocoa, tar and black licorice; long finish; drinking really well now, but will be good for another 5+ years
