This wine will stick to your ribs, and it’ll grab your palate on the way down, leaving quite an impression. Red fruit, leather and toast create a rock-solid, ideal nose. Moderately syrupy and full-bodied, with smooth berry flavors and plenty of vanilla. Finishes long and classy. Imported by Classical Wines.

Green olive and vegetal aromas are offset by Mexican spices. Flavors of coffee and brown sugar are more earthy than fruit driven, thanks to the 2,400-foot elevation of the vineyard.

Young and wild, with funky nut and mineral aromas that take some time to get used to. Once you dig in, the palate is immensely ripe and dense, with black currant and blackberry fruit. Toward the back things turn even darker and tighter, with notes of burnt sugar, leather and espresso. Huge in the mouth, with expansive tannins.

Aromatically satisfying, with heat, spice and brandied plum notes. Fairly narrow on the palate, with dark-cherry flavors softened by a light wave of vanilla and caramel. Short on the back end, with a quick finish. Imported by Classical Wines.

Dark in color, with a heavy, semiflat nose that is sort of gaseous. Airing brings it out of its slumber, unveiling medium-bright dark fruit, schisty mineral and spice flavors. Finishes chunky, with some fire, heat and bitter chocolate. Good but not as lively and precise as the great ones from Priorato.

Powerpacked stuff, no ifs, ands or buts. But it’s also a tannic heavyweight with a clamp-down palate that feels a bit like chewing on bolts. Starting aromas of raisin, char and black olive are brooding and mulchy, while the main act is dark, with coffee and cassis. Better flavors than feel; however, time could tame the beast.

Aromas of dark fruits are distinct and defined, while hints of perfume soften the bullish, rather earthy nose. Classy berry fruit rests comfortably on the palate, while the feel is juicy and tight. Finishes strong, maybe a little sharp, but with full flavors. 100% Cabernet.

From the village of La Morera, this is a jumpy, spiky wine with lively acidity and a racy personality. Aromas of lemon peel, black olive and rock quarry precede a chiseled palate that’s quite tannic. Pent-up power for sure, with a blast of toasty vanilla on the finish. Possibly a touch green at its core. Imported by Classical Wines.

Dark but alluring cola, burnt coffee and leathery notes open onto an equally smoldering blackberry, coffee and oak-laden palate. Richly textured in the mouth, it finishes with dry tarry flavors and intense tannins.

Giant and muscled, with potent aromas of smoke, tar, maple and prune. At 14% alcohol, not much is held back; the palate is at first sweet and rich, with the full allotment of plum, raisin and black cherry. On the finish comes mammoth tannins and some of the toastiest, burnt coffee notes you’ll find. A real bruiser with a full tank of fuel behind it.
