Mustiguillo "Quincha Corral" Vino de la Tierra Terrerazo 2004

Purple/black.

Extremely deep, inky aromas - high quality (French?) oak, incense, blackcurrant/blackberry, spice and earth. Crazy concentration, and refinement evident just in the nose.

Round, with a sweet oak character. Blackest of black fruit, extremely intense, with a corresponding intensity of structure. Flavor/structure pixel count is huge, beyond anything I've seen since my last bottle of Caprai Sangrantino. No shit. But this manages to show some textural sweetness/give.

Killer and in need of many years in the bottle.

Day 4 - Sexy oak treatment still evident on the nose. Structured and deep, with great purity. Massive structure in the finish does not kill flavor flow. Superb winemaking here. The 2000 (tasted at a Spanish-themed restaurant in Sacramento) was all oak/brutal. Just how many years does this (2004) need? I'd say 10, in a good cellar/wine fridge.

$75, 100% Bobal (esoteric Spanish variety)
