  Dark ruby red with pink rim. Dark cherry, blackberry, black plum, violet, anise, cedar, herbs and spices. Full bodied, medium-high acidity, medium-high tannin, medium structure, medium alcohol and long finish. Powerful, fresh and elegant. It was youthful and needed hours to open up. Better to cellar this bottle for a few more years.

  Lovely. Black cherry, plum, dill, oak and some blackberry jam. Excellent, and enjoyed with friends in Branäs!

  On the palate: Dark berries, smoke, vanilla. Elegant, slim and very well balanced.
  Long finish

  Well made but quite boring… so much vanilla wood which takes over the rest, like all the young Spanish wines I tasted lately.

  Really smooth and subtle. This reminded me more of a good dolcetto then the riojas I’ve had
