The 2007 Misterio One is purple-colored with a nose of brier, underbrush, spice box, and assorted black fruits. Dense and savory on the palate, it exhibits excellent grip and length. It should evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2017. Importer: Winebow, Inc., Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620

5 Deep and lush, with aromas of blackberry, cassis and coffee. This is actually a better, more balanced wine than the winery’s Gran Misterio because it isn’t over the top and overoaked. Flavors of mocha, coffee and mulled berry are on the money, while the chocolaty finish is smooth. Drink now due to low acidity.——M.S.(8/1/2011)—— 91
