December 6, 2018 - This has aged nicely. Nose has musty red fruit/pine forest aromas and is not particularly memorable.
Different story upon tasting. Beautiful red fruits-red cherry, raspberry, subtle notes of blueberries and strawberry followed by earthy notes mid-palette. So creamy smooth on the medium long finish, pure velvet.
Overall, as previous taster noted, it is still very much alive and is in the prime drinking window. Drink now-2021. -

March 15, 2017 - Great stuff for the price. Need some big air before drinking. Cherry cedar nose. Balanced fruit and mildly tannic. Long, grippy finish.

Community Recommendations
92 100% garnacha, aged in new French and American oak barrels): Opaque ruby. Sexy dark berry preserve and floral scents are complicated by notes of woodsmoke, cracked pepper and licorice. Round and expansive on the palate, offering gently sweet blueberry and cherry-vanilla flavors and a hint of allspice. Closes smooth and long, with lingering smokiness and supple tannins.Who Likes This Wine
