Bright ruby red. Dark nose with anise, plums, dark cherries and minerality. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Notes of black cherries, a touch cassis and crushed rocks. Medium plus to long finish. Great for only $41.00 at Barcelona.

Tastes like a mushroom extraction, intense, furry green tannins, tangy acidity. Faint smokey vanilla in the right way.

Still has plenty of color and fruit, it tasted like a 10 year old wine. Considering the age, I’m very impressed.
