Earth, rubber and chunky black fruit aromas make for a heavy, muddled nose, while the medium-sized palate is stewy and briary, with jammy flavors of red fruits and rubber. More stewed and medicinal than anything.——M.S.(8/1/2010)—— 83

Full and fruity as well as dense and structured. Not bad for an inexpensive Spanish red. The palate is fairly smooth but also a tad bit juicy. Chocolate, coffee and a dryness work the palate. Even shows some finesse along the way. ——M.S.(12/15/2006)—— 86
