Losing its steam, with light flavors of smoke and dried cherry and a hint of ketchup. Drink now. 1,000 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Spain / Somontano Select to Add

Licorice and spicy oak scents accent the nose, while the palate pulses with raspberry, currant and barrel-based vanilla. Shows good drive before finishing mildly drying and resiny.——M.S.(10/1/2008)—— 87
