Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Sep 13
(100% tempranillo, from vines between 55 and 60 years of age; all new oak, half French and half American): Brilliant ruby. Sexy aromas of blackberry liqueur, licorice, potpourri and vanilla. Enters the mouth supple and ripe, with lush black and blue fruit flavors enlivened by a tangy mineral nuance. The silky, sweet finish lingers with excellent clarity and persistence.
