This Tempranillo shows a burst of sweet, dark blackberries on the palate, which are thereafter overtaken by char and toast flavors. Dry, woody tannins are dominant here, and may be difficult to overcome if you don’t drink this with a slab of grilled meat. Butterscotch, toast and liqueur notes start things off. —D.M. ——D.T.(4/1/2003)—— 84
