The nightcap bottle. Has a funky nose to it but that blew off and it ended up being very good.

Given the varieties in this blend I had high hopes for this one. I was definitely a bit disappointed, but it was still good. I caught some faint whiffs of chocolate and graham cracker on the nose. On the palate, some dark fruit, iron, and graphite. A couple more years of cellaring may have made a difference for the better. 80% Cariñena, 20% Merlot. 3/14/23.
