Pours nearly black with aromas of lighter fragrant, sweet fruit above the rim with denser, fruit in the bowl. All kinds of goodness wanting to break out here.
Palate--Intense flavor out of the gate, young, not integrated, but what you would expect from such a young cab. It has all kinds of potential. Juicy blueberry and we'll see how it changes with breathing...
A well made Cabernet from Spain, not one of the "Cabernet" meccas of the world but certainly a nice and different Cabernet from an old world country. I paid $9 for this buy marked down from $16. The respected James Suckling gave this wine 91 points which seems a bit generous but then again I am not James Suckling. Bottom line--raise a glass and let it breathe and if you have the patience, buy a couple and lay one down for a few years.
