  A dark and sturdy Rioja. Very stout in the mouth, just the right amount of muscle. For the price, this is most excellent. However the lack of acidity keeps it from singing. Wine tastes well (even phenomenally) days after.

  Эффектный и очень характерный для темпранильо аромат - черная смородина, специи (гвоздика), грибной рассол. Тело излишне субтильное, танины слабые, ягодность практически отсутствует. Декантирование идет на пользу, баланс выравнивается, но вино все равно остается не слишком интересным. Впрочем, к жареному перечному стейку или к бараньей лопатке будет в самый раз.

  A wonderful evening spent with my good friend Hugh at La Dolce Ristorante in San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico. Dining outdoors under the stars and trying a new wine…what could be better?!! Color: Dark Ruby. Aroma: The scent evolved from a slight tomato and celery at opening to a faint memory after two hours. Tasting Notes: First presentation to the palate was one of dark tea not strong but definitely present and the finish was a real pleasure,,,longer than I expected and certainly encouraging another taste.
