macaujames Likes this wine: 93 points
October 18, 2022 - 92/93. Loves air needs between 2-3 hrs aeration! Has lifted aromas of violets, earth, leathery chalky cherries+raspberries. Its medium bodied supple and stylish decently oaked, red and black fruits palate has lovely depth, freshness and length, ends with some grip. 13.5%. Excellent value at 16 Euros. Lay down 5-10 years.
