June 30, 2023 - this has improved considerably since my last bottle in 2020 - certainly mature but now with a peppery layer of dark fruits - you can feel the heat

April 6, 2021 - A few days ago now. From memory deep ruby. Intense raspberry aromas, leather, dark chocolate. Very soft tannins. Good body. Long finish. Very nice now if you like your fruit but will keep.

November 26, 2020 - this is certainly well made and although the tannins are largely resolved, there seems to be little depth or complexity to the wine - I would be inclined to leave this for a while to see if it improves

January 24, 2014 - Top Spanish Wine Dinner organized by Andy/Madwines (Morton Puxi): Second encounter. Dark fruits; while enjoyable, a notch below the 2003 unico and 2009 Macan.
