Community Tasting Note

  • Phenol73 Likes this wine: 93 points

    March 15, 2014 - A nose of lifted complexity, showing black cherries, stewed berries and figs, fennel, dill, mocha and a note of damp earth. Gorgeous and intoxicating. The palate is very lively. Signature Tempranillo tartness and perky acidity give this a really fresh beat. The tanins are still quite juvenile - all blustery and a bit showy. The structure is excellent but tanins are still a touch drying at this stage. Overall, this is fantastic grape juice, still in its youth and with enough pedigry and stuffing to become something quite special in middle age.
