  Medium purple color
  Medium plus aromas of red/ blue fruit with underlying leather/ tobacco and a bit of barnyard funk in a good way - light oak influence
  Medium palate of red/ blue fruit and tobacco with good minerality
  Medium plus tannins, rather fine grained and medium plus acidity
  Alcohol well balanced and medium length
  This wine is drinking well right now but has the stuffing for some more cellar time

  6/5/2020 - Swaggering Beaunie Likes this wine:

  (Tasted after a 3-hour decant): Delicious, with flavors of black cherry, brioche, and black plum, adorned with grace notes of anise, tobacco, coffee, and (oddly...) freshly cooked rice. The acidity was crisp and the tannins lingering, but well-mannered. Great QPR....should have bought much more.

  Deep purple color with mild clearing
  Medium plus aromas of sweet red and black fruit with some herbal qualities and moderate new oak
  Medium palate which echoes aromas with additional anise/ tarragon notes
  Medium plus tannins from fruit and oak with medium plus acidity and medium finish
  Oak elements are well integrated with the fruit
  Modern style of Bierzo - well balanced and enjoyable
  Many years ahead based on tasting today
