Floral scents along with mild oaky scents and raspberries. Very tannic at first but settled down after breathing for 1 hour. Simple, but well made and tasty.
Very unique on the nose...chocolate and blueberry with chemical scents. Full bodied and high acidity...this is serious Bonarda that is a bit overextracted to my palate.
Excellent on both nose and palate, but be aware this is extremely oaky.....but this is good wine in spite of the new wood... I think I prefer the Tomero Gran Reserva

Refreshing with good acidity, but it tastes and bubbles like grape soda.

Too simple, uninspiring and lacks acidity. It's not bad, but don't waste your time with this.
