This is “A Sierra” if that matters.
Nose: terrific. Fresh crunchy blackberries. Lilacs. As this opens a bit savory. I really like the nose.
Palate: delicious blackberries. Drying tannins which dissipate. Delicious. Almost an elegant glou glou wine. A hint of tomato vine.

Smells like Spain. Bloody, meaty, rocks. Loads of flowers and minerals on the nose, leans towards Gamay, but dark.
The palate is med-light, a slight pull at your cheeks, very blue/black flavors, some coffee, plums, toast, really nicely done Mencia.Big Violets on the nose after a bit of air…pastilles?
Thanks @FassSelections
An hour + out, it’s leathery on the palate( pleasantly),furry tannins building.

Glühwein almost just without the sugar. Nicely balanced. Grown at 700-900 meters on slate. Floral on the nose Gamay like.

Color of purple, quite dark and dense. Nose of cocoa, dark fruits, blackberry, vanilla, strawberry, a bit plum, a bit oak, and ripe grapes. Taste is silky vanilla, a bit tickling carbonate, ripe grapes, a bit fermented cabbage, a bit sweet, and definitely good coffee note. Low tannins with a bit zest note in the after taste. Tasty.
