Could be bottle variation. I prefer these when they are brawny with warm fruit and smoke. This one seems racy and dried out. Would opt for Valserrano reserva in future.

More open and with more finesse than previous vintages. The fruit seems fresher but lacks integration, and may have more new french oak influence than before. Otherwise true to character.

Nice cling, light on the tongue with a heavy fruity and licorice finish. Love it!
