August 28, 2022 - Medium-full bodied, balanced acidity and tannins. Blackberry, plum, blueberry, with pencil lead and a nice black pepper finish that pulls it together well.

June 24, 2022 - Ein gutes Beispiel, wie wichtig Säure ist.
Ja, der Wein ist sehr üppig und schwarzfruchtig, hat 14,5 vol. %. Aber die relativ hohe und sehr gut integrierte Säure sorgt dafür, dass das trotzdem ein relativ feiner, sehr trinkiger Wein ist. Gelungen! -

Por copas. Otro claro ejemplo de lo que el sur puede proporcionar por menos de 15€. Compota de ciruelas en nariz y excesiva densidad en boca con una decente longitud y un retrogusto vegetal, pelín astringente. Reminiscencias de algunos vinos de Jumilla. Necesita comida. -

June 25, 2021 - Maybe it's too young, but for me this vintage is very far inferior to earlier years (I've tried the 2012, 2015, 2016 over the last couple of years).
Splash decanted and drank over the next hour. For me this is just a hot, confected, jammy and simple wine. It is utterly unbalanced - just heat and fruit, no acidity or tannins. Blind I would label it as $6-8 Californian plonk.
Perhaps it will get better with a few more years of age, but as it stands I'm really not impressed. At ~US$17.5 this is not a repeat buy.
EDIT: I left a glass in the decanter overnight. 21 hours from opening it's a little better, but still really nothing special - still jammy, no tannins. Maybe an 84 now.1 person found this helpful Comment
