  January 18, 2015 - Lovely, fragrant perfume, some good red fruit and not much else. Maybe too young? Very good with our roasted heritage chicken

  January 26, 2014 - Almost four years since last CT TN and at this point I founded this second brand quite delicious.
  Sceptical as I was about garage winemakers, I've to tell you this is a harmonious Merlot based bottle, do meaty but CF is giving that touch of greenness that balances everything here.
  Showed a opaque yet mature colour.
  Palate is ample, elegant, delicate even but with firm tannins. Pretty nice. Serious wine.
  Apparently I'm a lucky guy cause haven't same taste than John Gilman had...
  
  Casi cuatro años después de la última nota en CT y en este momento encontré esta segunda marca bien rica.
  Escéptico como era sobre bodegas de garaje, tengo que decirte que está es una botella basada en la Merlot, así que cárnica pero con ese frescor que proporciona la CF y que equilibra todo.
  Mostró un color opaco aunque maduro.
  En boca es amplia, elegante, delicada incluso pero con firmes taninos. Bien buena. Un vino respetable.

  September 10, 2010 - Clear and Deep garnet colour. Legs (13.5°)
  Nose: warm (some VA) Mushroomy and quite a lot of dark cherries and blackcurrents, some vanilla and cinnamon also. After some aeration lovely notes of violets come through
  Palate: Med+ body, med acidity, and good intensity of flavours (dark and red fruits), some oak. Somewhat tough tannins, Mid palate lacks subsbtance and the length is ok-ish.
  Can keep and may round up a little with another 2-3 yrs

  December 6, 2009 - Ripe dark fruits, leather and some earth. Soft and supple with smooth tannins. Quite delicious but finishes rather short though.
