ruby colored with faint bricking at the edges. nose of crushed blackberries, black cherries, dried beef, black pepper, pyrazines, and turned earth. medium bodied with fresh acidity. palate is very savory, lithe, and elegant with more dark fruits. fine drying tannins on the back end. finishes long. excellent and in prime drinking window.

Loved this. Savory dark fruits and peppery, but with bright acidity. Reminds me perhaps of a crozes. I wouldn't age this, too delicious now. Great value.

drank just as well and a bit differently on day 1 and day 2. medium density dull ruby color. purple fruits, black pepper, and green pepper on the nose. maybe a twinge of animal fat. light and fresh. like really fresh. crunchy red apple skin and ripe plum flavors. chiseled granite bolsters the fruit. fine sandy tannins dry out the end. tart aftertaste. good length on the finish. stellar and age-worthy as always from this producer.

Brief / vague note. Extremely elegant and low abv, making this a joy to sip with a casual dinner. Somewhat aromatic. Palate was quite fruity, but you can tell the structure is there, with underlying powdery tannins. Overall could use 1-2 years to settle down, but already drinking really well. Very inviting wine to sip with a spicy ropa vieja.

Full bodied but also very fresh and energetic. Good fruit, but with some earthy notes as well. Great at the price.
