Lots of sandalwood and cedar character to the blackberry and cigar aromas. A lot of oak here, but nothing sweet. The medium-to full-bodied palate is filled with savory dark cherries, creme de cassis and mocha, with lots of fine, precise tannins before a very long, creamy finish. Drink or hold.

There are pungent green pepper aromas in the 2017 Pago Valdebellón, perhaps from the shorter cycle and rushed ripening of the Cabernet Sauvignon in this very warm year. It has some roasted notes, super fine tannins and a minty finish. This is more like the old school Bordeaux than the creamy and luxurious modern ones. 6,862 bottles were filled in May 2019.
