Swaggering Beaunie Does not like this wine: 83 points
May 14, 2017 - Overrated by others here. I taste alcohol, tannins, and acid, but no fruit.....another bland saignee. Its popularity is a mystery to me.

And though your confidence is impressive I would note the wine is completely made from old-vine Mataro and Grenache that is picked between 11.5% and 12.8% potential alcohol and whole-cluster pressed- I have never used saignee for the wine, ever.
