An inky ruby blend of 91% Tempranillo, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot with deeply pitched aromas of cherry compote, cassis, vanilla and fruitcake along with a smoky topnote. Fleshy, sweet, concentrated flavors of dark berry compote and rose pastille are lifted by spice and mineral nuances. Shows impressive power and focus on the lengthy, gently tannic finish, which features lingering vanilla and floral pastille notes. V:92; JS:91
