  Red berries and a bit of tobacco on the nose, which carries nicely over to the palate along with forrest floor, some dryness and an acidic kick in the end. Pure Garnacha from a single vineyard.

  Expectations for this exceeded result. We used our Coravin and this cork burst out of the bottle, causing a bit of a mess. I was tasting blind and didn't pick up a lot of anything, but I did pick up a 'weird citrus note on the back'. Felt pretty proud of that when I read up on the varietal and region that 'grilled grapefruit' is not uncommon. Other than that, though, this bottle didn't deliver a lot and I suspect it had not been treated right before we bought it a couple years ago. If this bottle is any indication, drink it up now!

  100% Garnacha from 2.9-hectare plot planted 40 years ago. This fermented in a combination of stainless steel and concrete with indigenous yeasts and matured in a 4,000-liter oak foudre and nine used 500-liter oak barrels for nine months. Transparent ruby. Aromas of red cherry, strawberry, spices. Taste of red cherry, dry, fresh, very fine tannins. Well made. Good QPR.

  wow, how this bottle improved in 4 months, its worlds apart. While initially regretful I bought into this, I did repurchase after this tasting. All that excess fruit has now integrated and is now very balanced, showing just enough dark fruit. Although 24 hours later it did not open any more in the glass, I now have hopes it may be an overall better bottle by next year.

  Bright, tart cherry, deep garnet color. Well balanced. Delicious wine.
