(Finca Sandoval Manchuela) ($53; 76% syrah, 13% mourvedre and 11% bobal) Opaque purple. Brooding dark berry and kirsch aromas are complicated by cracked pepper and musky Indian spices. Pliant blackberry and cassis flavors are surprisingly energetic, with lively acidity adding spine and fine-grained tannins providing shape. The spicy note repeats on the very lively, sweet finish. 93 points |
