An eye-opener from Sherry country, this blend from Cadíz is broad, big and totally convincing as top-shelf red wine. The nose is full of forceful but high-quality new oak, while early aromas of shoe polish and road tar fade nicely toward tobacco, blackberry and plum. With good mouthfeel, controlled tannic bite and richness, it has plenty going for it. Drink now and over the next five years. Michael Schachner

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
