Second tasting blew me away. When first tasted this it was very closed, tasted it this week after being opened for almost a day and it blew me away. Meshes the classic and modern Cabernet styles with distinct spanish character . It is extraced and ripe but far from flabby, the typical peppery/dark fruit new world cab profile blends in perfectly with its very savory side (think a hint of high quality tempranillo mixed in). It also has great acidity and structure. While this is sure to please both bordeaux and new world cab fans, it has enough acidity to satisfy those who prefer more light
