Leafy, roasted and herbal up front, with modest ripe-fruit aromas sitting below. The palate smacks down hard with tannin and acidity, while the flavors are leafy, herbal and suggest raspberry and cherry. Prieto Picudo is a unique grape with a natural rubbery bite, but give Peregrino credit for presenting it well. ——M.S.(2/1/2011)—— 87
