this cabernet from one of spain's best-known producers is mature and structured. an attractive, complex nose offers berry, tobacco and leather aromas, while the wine is darkly fruited and a touch brown at the edge. finishes long and dry, with some drying tannins. drink now through 2006. despite the tannins, sooner is preferable, as the fruit seems fully mature. —m.m.
