Jumilla, Murcia, Spain
It sort of pushes everything wine related a bit further. 2012 vintage is simply stunning! Not built for everyone and "purists" should stay away.

A big boy with tannins not afraid to show. No decanter, but opened three hours before drinking. Velvet on the front then piercing towards the back. While the flavors that do come out are strong and balanced, it's one dimensional with the overdone alcohol. Still, good wine.

Opens up in the glass, with plush, soft black and red berry fruit, pencil led, graphite, and hints of oaked vanilla. Palate is firm, without noticeable heat (15.5% ABV). Finish is driven with blackberry fruit, well integrated oak. You can drink now with a decant but this will cellar well.
