"Saturated, full ruby-red color. Very expressive, nuanced aromas of black raspberry, leather, minerals, fresh herbs and pepper; here the oak seems more thoroughly absorbed. Fatter and denser than the above, with superb sweetness, but the flavors are sharply etched. Really powerful core of fruit and minerals. Chewy, palate-coating finish features big, ripe tannins and superb persistence. I'd love to taste this version of tempranillo blind against some top '96s from Ribera del Duero."
