 Tasted by Bruce 1er on 3/16/2024 & rated 90 points: Nicely crafted, good balance, harmony. Soft tannins with a pleasant finish. (57 views)
 Tasted by portman63 on 9/22/2023 & rated 92 points: This has finally matured into such a sweet spot. Just lip-smacking and delicious tart cranberry flavors with soft integrated tannins. At peak right now. Maybe a couple of years more but why wait when this delicious. (102 views)
 Tasted by portman63 on 5/7/2019 & rated 90 points: I think this is starting to come around. Super tight and inaccessible a couple of years back. Now it is showing more red cherry and some mineral/iron aspects. It didn't change much over the evening so I'm still not sure yet it there is chance for improvement, but I think it will be accessible for several more years. (459 views)
 Tasted by Harley1199 on 11/26/2016: Second Judgment of Madrid, Still an Aficionados' Matter (Restaurante Garcia de la Navarra - Madrid): Good considering it as a break of so many Cabernets but it was very short and undefined. Of course, a little astringent, rude and rustic. That's its nature so no complains.
At this point we have better examples, think so.

Bueno, entendiéndolo como un descanso de tantos Cabernets pero fue muy cortito e indefinido. Por supuesto, un poco astringente, rudo y rústico. Esa es su naturaleza, así que no hay quejas.
En este momento tenemos mejores ejemplos, creo que está claro. (1840 views)
