March 25, 2022 - Nose is extremely ripe and rich with chambord, framboise, dried currants, menthol, leather marjoram, dark cacao chocolate & crushed Syrian black pepper.
Flavors are similar but in a leaner, less expressive version in a medium body and firmly acidic tone, decent mouthfeel, with soften tannins. Finish is a bit short with bitter cacao and Valencia orange peal. As an everyday wine at 15% Alc it’s fine and satisfying at the price point. Short ribs or Spanish oxtails would serve it well. It’s like being on a date and moderately impressed when the clothes come off. Decanted and aerated for 3 hours. Nice to experience some wines from this mysterious region. -

March 12, 2022 - Bright cherry red color. Nose a bit like cherry cough syrup of my youth. Cherry and alcohol flavors with some tannins on the finish. Nice everyday wine.

February 27, 2022 - Really nice wine and great QPR. Bold dark fruit profile. Label says mulberries, I guess I can't argue. Firm tannins. Would buy again.

February 22, 2021 - Didn’t take detailed notes. Nice balance of red fruit, rusticity, acidity, and tannins. Nice wine at the $15 price point.
