Hi Emery,
I knew you were going to like that López de Heredia. This wine, which is
absurdidly cheap for a 19 years old wine, spends 6 years in large barrels,
the rest of time until release ('91 is the current release, and it has just
replaced '90).
A technical sheet (in English) can be downloaded here:

They actually have what I consider the perfect website for ease of
navigation and no-nonsense information easily available.
FWIW, I think you nailed the description. I look forward knowing your take
on the red.
