The 2004 Kinien de Don Raul is a blend of 78% Malbec and equal parts Merlot and Tempranillo. It spent 14 months in first use French and American oak. Purple in color, it has a slightly roasted bouquet of scorched earth, truffle, leather, black cherry, and blackberry. Full-bodied with a brawny personality, this large-scaled effort has densely packed fruit and loads of ripe tannin. It will require 5-7 years of cellaring and should have a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2024. Importer: Sherbrooke Cellars, Scarsdale, NY; tel. (914) 722-9105
