Expert Reviews

89 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2009

($27; 60% tempranillo, 35% malbec and 5% syrah) Bright ruby-red. Slightly withdrawn nose offers black cherry, black raspberry, licorice and a whiff of oaky torrefaction. Then quite primary on the palate, with dark fruit, meat and spice flavors displaying good intensity. Today the tempranillo is coming through loud and clear. Finishes with a youthful firmness.
