Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Sep 07
(86% tempranillo, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 4% merlot) Deep ruby. Spicy cherry-cola, mint and exotic floral aromas display striking clarity. Deeply flavored but silky in texture, with precise red berry and cherry flavors, medium body and good support from fine-grained tannins. Finishes bright and minerally, with outstanding lingering sweetness.
