95 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2012

(80% tempranillo, 15% garnacha, 3% graciano and 2% mazuelo):  Dark red.  A kaleidoscopic bouquet evokes candied red fruits, incense, pipe tobacco and potpourri, with hints of woodsmoke, leather and Asian spices gaining strength in the glass.  Silky and sweet, with intense raspberry liqueur and bitter cherry flavors that take a darker turn with air.  Tangy acidity adds lift and focus to a strikingly long, sappy finish.  This wine belies its age with its vivacity.
