94(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

(86% tempranillo and 14% garnacha):  Inky violet color.  Powerful, brooding aromas of black and blue fruits, violet, dark chocolate and anise.  Dense, chewy and sweet, with strong dark berry and cherry compote flavors and an exotic floral quality that gains strength with air.  Shows serious concentration and extract and finishes sappy and very long.  This big boy demands patience.
