The aromas bring high-toned, somewhat unusual notes of herbs, vanilla, toffee and tire rubber. The berry flavors are ripe, with nutty accents and a squeeze of tannins.

The blend includes Grenache and Syrah, suggesting a wine that is part Ribera del Duero, part Priorat. Firm and dark, with black fruits and a strong streak of licorice, with some lighter highlights of blueberry and coffee.

Pleasant and simple, this offers light strawberry and cherry flavors, with a pretty streak of mocha. The finish shows some earth and stem notes.

Light strawberry fruit is matched to barrel notes of cola and caramel. There is more than a trace of barnyard and earth, and the tannins have a tea-like astringency. The fruit seems a bit over-matched.
