Community Tasting Note

  • Too much practice. wrote: 88 points

    December 23, 2014 - - Garnet color - A whopping mouthful of oak and berries. Like going for an autumnal countryside walk - with your eyes shut adn your mouth open. Incredible length. Dan's not wrong - 25 seconds? It is a big, strong, oaky, giant. The strength of oak, the concentration of flavour and the length of finish are the differentiators from their other wines. I'm not used to drinking Tempranillo at this price range, so it's hard to be objective. Delightful. Big wine. I had expected more subtlety and range - hence lower than expected score. Drinking fine. Will revisit.

    So low expectations deserve only a 89...
    Revisit? Oh please, don't do that cause maybe next time all you can get from this will be a poor 84+ :-)
    Cheers and merry Xmas!
