2/3/2024 - lake.vino Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is, in no way, an "easy-drinking" rose. It is not intended to be. It's made from vines over 100 years old, grown on volcanic soil - and this all shows. It badly needed cellar time, and is still on the young side. However, it has lost its "stench" of youth. Crunchy red cranberry, apple. Very rocky, and earthy, almost sulfury note. Palate brightly acidic, with red fruit dominating. White pepper, a bit herbal. Strong mineral structure underlies the fruit, and continues to dominate on long finish. This wine needs food - really, for a meal. It would be a disaster as a patio/poolside summer quaffer. But, with a few years of age, a nice hearty plate of food - wow. And best served at cool cellar temperate - it's just dead at 40F. |

8/21/2023 - Madera16 Likes this wine: NROrange, but fairly light, gentle tannin. Fair amount of p-cresol type character that gives it some funk, but it’s nice. Touch of jasmin character as well. |

11/20/2022 - geexploitation Does not like this wine: NRInteresting wine, and without more practice with Listan Negro (this is my 2nd) I'm having a hard time judging quality here. Mouthfeel, structure, overall nose all say this is a quality, well-made bottle, but there's something astringent in the palate that I find off-putting. Not sure if its the bottle or a varietal tendency. |

12/12/2021 - MadeiraLev Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis one is acquiring more balance with bottle age. Still a hint of funk, but for our palate this is a nice flavor note that complements some dark fruit, smoke and salinity/minerals. We have one more bottle-open in a year or two? |

11/12/2021 - VinoMomNola Likes this wine: 89 pointsCanary wine kicks ass! It's a bit on the greener, more herbaceous side but the acidity balances it out. Truly enjoyable with acidic preparation red meat, very aromatic as well and the body won't tire your palate. |

9/26/2021 - marcp Likes this wine: 90 pointsMedium hued, very dry, high acidity, light tannins, light bodied. Starts with barnyard funk. As it breathes, I get sour cherry and dried strawberry fruit. Then it develops a little tar and a steely finish. I had the tinto version previously and found the barnyard a bit over the top - as a rosado it is more balanced. It went well with grilled sausage, and I would try it with salmon. |

9/15/2021 - lake.vino Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis is an amazing bottle, full stop. One of the most compelling rose wines I have ever encountered. To the extent that there is a flaw, the nose suggests some Brett going on. Deep mineral, slightly barnyard nose, with plum and warm spice - nutmeg and cinnamon. Seawater. Palate balanced, with great lifting acidity, intense minerals going on long finish. still a bit tannic. Great fruit - plum again dominant. |

7/20/2021 - tedcholl Likes this wine: 89 pointsVery unique wine, both on the nose and palate. Made from the unusual grape, Listan Negro. Intense and dark. Earthy, blackberry, black cherry, sage, charcoal, hay and some flavors I can't identify. Great value and a great change of pace. |

3/15/2021 - gdbarton1@gmail.com wrote: NRI agree with the last note about this wine occupying the uncanny valley between red/rose. The wine was very pale light rose with a musty plumy nose. I didn’t get the smoke the others did. Once it opened up, the wine had light dried plumy fruit, bright acid long integrated flavors. I liked it. A hard wine to rate |
