This thick, juicy 2000 is a blend of Mourvedre, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Alicante (most of it old vine fruit). Dense, concentrated, and earthy, it offers up notes of minerals, black fruits, new saddle leather, and spice. This fleshy, full-throttle Spanish red may not be finesse-styled, but it is substantial as well as intense. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.
