Rye toast, cranberry laden gravy, and morel nose with cinnamon and peppercorns in prune smoke. There is dark chocolate in this miasma, too. Blood-thick, with enough residual oak to build your own "Cruz" ship. A virtual reliquary, this dark chunky beast swings like a bat across your front teeth, and doesn't forget the back! Big Spanish monster with hard clay, bonfire, plum reduction, and a brassy finish that hovers around in the shadows for a minute finishing with cassis and a little bakers chocolate for good measure. A steal at 13$!

Dark and thick with some noticeable oaky tones, some things happening, lively.

If you can find it, buy it. Truly lovely wine, soft, no hint of tannins, nice fruit and chocolate. Nicely aged (07), exceptional value ($20).
