2010 from magnum. No internet where I was in the Loire, so notes from memory for the next 7-wines or so. Medium bodied, dark fruits, dill, earth, nice acid and a very long toasty finish. Drinking great now.

Always great. My favorite Spanish wine, and I’ve reviewed it quite a few times. Great acidity, elegance, and oak integration with savory character and subtle fruit, wild berries, tomato, tobacco, herbal and floral.
