  February 19, 2016 - 3 hour decant. 100% Tinto Fino.
  Pretty mediocre at pop time, but this came round rather nicely.
  Delicious nose of thorny dark fruits - purple with long, elegant legs - light and airy, but with depth behind it - pretty smooth, but not slippery - a certain moorish yuminess - nice balance with a long finish. I don't normally drink Spanish wine, but I'm enjoying this.

  October 21, 2015 - Color ganate oscuro, ribete granatoso, capa alta y gruesa lágrima suavemente tintada. En nariz muestra una intensidad de aromas algo justa pero muy elegante, se percibe la fruta madura con recuerdos de grosellas rojas, moras y fresones silvestres en compota, los tostados algo tímidos pero marcados y firmes, finos especiados, frescos balsámicos con predominio del mentolado, toques licoroso suavemente punzantes que recuerdan el licor de grosella, hojarasca fresca con piedra húmeda y suave fondo de monte bajo húmedo. En boca muestra su carácter que no da en nariz y es inmenso y elegante, buen recorrido tras un buen arrange con una astringencia que llega a resultar dulzona, muy buena acidez, fruta madura que recuerda la mermelada de grosellas negras, tostados marcados pero bien ensamblados en todo su recorrido, taninos cremosos que aportan una fina textura al conjunto, elegante, notable amplitud y buen volumen, notable persistencia. Final bien largo, postgusto de fruta madura y retronasal suavemente ahumado.
  ¡Magnífico!

  March 11, 2015 - Popped and poured at 18 degrees. When I was just about to think my preference had fully tilted to the French this baby comes along. The nose a bit shy but beautiful vanilla, very subtle. On the palate wow, unleashing wonderful velvet vanilla long long amazingly balanced oak. Yes, it is a tad on the sweet side if you are a Bdx lover, but this one makes you look through this. It's really wonderful. So different, as in much better, as this estates's standard crianza which disappointed me slightly a couple of months back. Sold! Try this if you can, it's that good. The last time I had such a good Spanish wine was three years ago (a Vall Llach 2001).

  January 22, 2013 - Enofusión 2013 (Including Vega Sicilia´s Macan) (IFEMA - Madrid): That fragrant nose I still remember and love so...
  Mineral, fruit cocktail, chocolatey to the end.... Fantastic
  Impressed youth on the palate with potential to last many years
  
  Todavía recuerdo y amo tanto esa nariz fragante...
  Hasta el final mineral, Macedonia de frutas, achocolatado...fantástico.
  Sello de juventud en boca con potencial para descansar muchos años.
