A bigger wine at 14.5%, this offers the full allotment of leather, crude oil, violet petals and cassis. The palate is rich and relaxed, with blackberry, plum and lightly oaked vanilla flavors. It’s integrated and smooth, with a touch of wood and caramel well woven into the wine’s core fabric. Drink now.

Fairly obvious vanilla and dill aromas work with red-fruit and resin scents to give this a “roble” sort of nose, meaning the oak is definitely there. (Roble is the word for oak in Spanish.) In the mouth, cherry, plum and pasty lactic flavors integrate the more you swirl, while the finish is toasty and dark, with another wave of oak.

A heavy, briary wine that opens with a full blast of earthy compost and burnt leaves. The palate features pointed berry fruit along with a wall of oaky coconut and vanilla. Creamy on the finish, at least in terms of flavor, with lasting vanilla.

Quite dilute, with gaseous, chemical aromas that subside with time but never really leave. The palate is dry, mulchy and briney, and dig as you might, there is never much fruit to latch onto. Too thin, even for a cool year like 2007.

Full, roasted and earthy on the nose, with only some coconut and berry aromas to sweeten things up. Tight, level and structured in the mouth, with roasted raspberry and plum along with oaky, buttery, smoky accents that confirm the wine’s “roble” designation. Good but with some excess oak to process.
