Licorice and raisin are the primary aromas, giving this blend of Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano a maximum-ripeness sort of outward personality. And the palate follows suit, showing baked berry fruit that’s on the cusp of overripeness. Cassis, raisin and other sweet flavors finish it off. Drink now through 2009; it’s softer than it is structured.——M.S.(11/15/2008)—— 88
