From Jumilla.

Almost black in the glass.

A spicy nose, with lots of red licorice and sweet cherry fruit.

Started over very nicely: thick and very rich, black cherry, hard cinnamon candy, spicy. With time, the wine took on a very rough edge, showing bitterness and some rough alcohol, weighing in at 14.5 per cent.

A rough and hard finish.

Could not finish the bottle.
