This was the second sample of our blind tasting. This wine was very different from Marques de Caceres as it was more powerful round and I would say very smoky (probably from toasted barrels). What was amazing it was completely different from the same wine, but 2000 vintage that we also tasted. You would not expect that much vintage variation, but the wines were very different.
