Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Thursday, November 24, 2016 - Castilla y Leon tasting (at my home): P&P
dark opaque red-purple
reduced nose at first, then heavy dark fruits, roasted coffee, oak-vanilla on the nose
dark heavy fruity flavours, liquorice, firm tannins, rich earthy flavours, requires 2-3 hours of decanting, still very young and can further age 5-15 years.

after 20 hours: excellent hedonistic nose & palate

    or, wait till it's 20 years old...

    both ways you'll enjoy this wine a lot!!!
    cheers!
