Dark and attractive in terms of color, with barrique-driven aromas of bacon, toast and roasted plum and berry. This is a ripe, meaty offering with blackberry, chocolate and warm brown sugar flavors supported by full tannins. Shows some licorice and burnt toast on the fairly long finish.

Quite a bit different than the bodega’s Flor de Grealo prestige bottling; this wine is a touch stewy, with molasses and braised-beef aromas. The palate leans toward unctuous and syrupy, while the finish is flatter than ideal. A blend of Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
