  December 30, 2020 - Violets, tobacco leaf funk, wet leaves on the nose: a tobacco drying barn; a well mannered but interesting mouthfeel, bright cherry to begin, mellowing nto woody softness, strong tannic backbone, lingering dry finish, hints of morel mushroom. Reminds me strongly of blue ridge with its rich dampness. Fantastic with charcuterie

  July 13, 2017 - Bonito color, casi negro, con estrecho ribete.
  En nariz, intenso, con especia.
  En boca es de tacto sedoso. Llena la boca muy rápida y completamente. Muy redondo.
  Retrogusto extremadamente agradable que invita a seguir consumiéndolo.
  Marida perfectamente con una buena carne.

  November 15, 2016 - Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow" #013: Ribera del Duero (By me): Beautiful bouquet with dark forest fruits, smoke. autumn, a touch of barnyard, vanilla and some minerals. On the palate chocolate, herbs, spices, nutmeg, good acidity, firm tannin, vanilla and some bitterness. A mouth full of wine. Has improved considerably over the past two years. Still a future of several years. 91 - 92

  July 23, 2016 - Need time to breath to remove some acid.
  Nose is ok, fruit plenty.
  But this is a heavy wine and needs heavy food to go along.

  May 27, 2016 - Through Coravin, I think that this is in a sleeper phase: blue fruit on the nose + some burnt tires and herbs. Tannins are smooth, but alcohol tastes a bit disjointed
