Interesting aromas of raspberry and saddle leather. Strong alcohol. Took about two hours to open up. Red fruit, eucalyptus and pine tar. Alcohol didn't really integrate (14.5%), although not overy intrusive. Nice wine.

- Garnet color and aromas of honey and burnt toast. It's balanced and has flavours of chocolate, molasses, coffee, burnt toast and walnut with a medium/full body. Flabby texture with a medium finish.

Still retains fruit, but decant. Still a hot (alc) taste. Much lighter than Malbec, good for first course. After 4 bottles, however, still disappointed that the wine did not live up to expectations.

A very dark and inky appearance. There are fresh leather, blackberries and a little blackcurrant on the nose. There’s very ripe fruit on the palate: this is very serious stuff and quite aromatic. There are firm tannins on the finish, which reinforce the impression of a full, heavy wine.

this was highly enjoyed. Great tempranillo taste but without some of the mustiness associated with Spanish reds.

Após 20 min decantando fiocu mais interessante. Mostrou-se mais equilibrado e perdeu do carvalho que parecia mto forte.

Bom vinho, ainda está um pouco duro. Garrafa anterior estava melhor.

Nice red colour, opaque in the glass. Hints of oak and vanilla on the nose. Very full bodied, nice tannins...very nice.

Excessively oaked and overmanipulated.
