Wine review: 90 points from Robert Parker: "An amazing bargain from Spain, this blend of mourvèdre, grenache, and syrah bursts with plum, blackberry, and licorice-infused fruit. There is a bit of pepper as well, and the wine is silky, soft, and opulent. Serve it at a barbecue... Years ago I wrote in The Wine Advocate that Dan Kravitz was perhaps the top U.S. importer of wines priced under $10 a bottle. Even though the dollar bought a lot more then, Kravitz still has a knack for finding good wines at great prices." (in Business Week Magazine)".
My review: Yikes, a little past its prime! On the nose, moldy, sweat socks, wet paint, and old soggy logs in the woods. On the palate, sour, harsh on the tongue, spicy, and even salty and puckering. We tried to help the wine by allowing it to soften in a decanter, which did prove to help some.
