Tight on the nose, with dense aromas of black fruit, leather, dried cheese and earth. It’s also fairly smoky and lively, with textured tannins, a generous mouthfeel and complex flavors of berry, pepper and spice. A lively, forward style made from Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha and Mazuelo.——M.S.(11/1/2010)—— 91
