Score 91/100 · Drink 2003-2006, Robert Parker, Feb 2003
The debut vintage from a producer whom Eric Solomon feels is a future star, this blend of 40% Tempranillo, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Mourvedre, and 10% Mando (a local grape) was aged 4-6 months in barrel. Its opaque purple color is followed by sumptuous aromas of peppery sweet black fruits, licorice, scorched earth, and red as well as black currants. With tremendous purity, intensity, texture, and fruit, it is a Spanish red to buy by the trunkful. A great bargain, it will drink well for 2-3 years.
