90 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2010

($25; 70% monastrell and 15% each of cabernet sauvignon and syrah, raised in new 500-liter French barrels) Deep ruby. Youthful medicinal aromas of dark cherry, licorice, bitter chocolate and herbs, enhanced by a hint of vanilla. Juicy and fresh but also supple and ripe, with fleshy cherry-vanilla, mocha and spice flavors supported by a firm spine of acidity. Tannins build with air but don't show any hardness. Finishes with gentle grip and a suggestion of slightly roasted fruits.
