89 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2011

($27; a blend based on 60% tempranillo) Dark red. Sexy, very ripe aromas of black raspberry and caramel. Sweet-verging-on-liqueur-like, with lush flavors of redcurrant, cherry, plum and chocolate joined by coffee and chocolate torrefaction. In a large, fat, slightly warm style, this is a serious mouthful and a guilty pleasure. Finishes with big, broad tannins and a mocha note.
