The 2007 Neo Sentido is 100% Tempranillo aged in a mix of new and used French and American oak for 8 months before bottling without fining or filtration. Dark ruby-colored, it sports a perfume of balsam wood, spice box, espresso, black cherry, and blackberry. Juicy and forward on the palate, it conceals a bit of structure but this lengthy offering can be enjoyed now and over the next 6 years. Issue 188, April 2010

Vivid ruby. Dark berries and cherry-cola on the nose. Round and pliant, offering sweet dark berry flavors and no obvious tannins. The finish features slow-building bitter chocolate and licorice elements and lingers impressively. This gained in refinement with air so give it an hour or so of decanting. Issue 145, July/Aug '09
