87 / 100
Spanish Oak is a useful point of distinction here, while raisins and dried tomatoes lead the nose and prunes with semi-dark chocolate shape the palate. The finish’s bitterness and lingering acidity keep the sweetness from sounding one-note; that contrast is what makes this appealing to me.
