Brownish-red color. A bit of a cola mixed with spices on the nose. Very thin-bodied with an old raspberry juice flavor to it. 84 - seems to have gone past its prime. Caveat - drunk on a flight from Atlanta to Rome.

Plenty of plums and blackberries. A bit overly astringent red fruit centric on the finish. Caveat:ried on a Delta flight from Atlanta to Milan.

90% Tempranillo and 10% Mazuelo. Garnet color. Fragrant nose of spices, cedar, red cherry and a hint of tobacco. Some alcohol, that dissipates with the help of a decanter. Full bodied and silky with firm tannins and high acidity. Intense flavors of cherry and plum. Lot of tobacco in the mid palate, some oak and black pepper that carries throughout the finish, blending with notes of vanilla. Nice now, but definitely worth aging for a few more years (retail $14.99).

Nose of black fruits and cedar. The initial flavors are of Black Currant and toasted oak with earthy undertones. The Oak stands out alot in the finish.
