"Damp, mossy, earthy berry aromas are murky as a whole. This Cabernet is massive and pounding on the palate, with tannins as hard as nails. A green-leaning flavor profile with coffee, mint and blackberry notes finishes with heavy oak, burnt toast and green spice flavors. Michael Schachner"

"Heavily herbal spicy leafy aromas are green like cool-climate Cab Franc, and then a massive bolt of oaky char takes over. This Cabernet Sauvignon is hard, drying and tough on the palate. Herbal roasted black-fruit flavors are smothered in burnt oak, while this is blackened but green tasting on the finish. Ripeness of fruit was clearly an issue in this cool vintage."

"Among a small population of varietal Spanish Cabernets, Pago Valdebellón is exemplary. Bold plum and cassis aromas come with a needling of green notes and spice. In the mouth, this is tight and tannic, but not angry. Flavors of herbal raspberry come with a minty aftertaste, while the finish is lively and herbal, with a touch of heat. Drink now through 2020."

"By no means is this an easy wine to like or understand. It begins with murky, earthy aromas and then unfolds to deliver marzipan and sweet berry fruit. Massive is an understatement, as the wine's tannic grab and density are over the top. There aren't many good high-priced Cabs from Spain; take this as a good explanation why not. Imported by Kobrand."
