Aromas of dill, char and vanilla mix with red fruit to create a recognizable, inviting bouquet. Black cherry and plum flavors are firm and spicy, however the back palate is a bit short, verging on hollow. With gritty tannins and forward acidity, this is no slouch. Imported by Quality Wines of Spain.

Seems like the winery’s 5T bottling gets the riper grapes and this one gets the thin, sour stuff. Some oak helps cover up the lean fruit, but the palate remains tart and sharp, with flavors of pie cherry and cranberry.

Lots of color and aggressiveness, but no polish or poise. The nose is gassy and harsh, while the palate is surprisingly boring, with little to no flavor. Finishes short and clipped, with tannins that drill your cheeks.
