Peppercorn, cloves, strawberry jam/raisins. Basically, dry bitterness of the Tempranillo is offset by the fruity sweetness of the cab sauv. That and as with any 10+ year vintage, expect concentrated flavour and presence.

Amazing Tempranillo!! Worth every dollar - and not many of those to get this gem!! Delicious, tannic, full bodied and full of fruit forward with long finish of Tabasco and leather.

Let it decant for an hour at least. Decent value at Costco
