  November 30, 2019 - Overwhelming dark fruit and oak. Potpourrie of dark fruit and marmelade, toffie par excellence. Still nice tannins and acidity, deep in colour, deep to smell at, you cant stop to smell actually. Very honored to taste this wine, great!!!

  March 5, 2016 - Earthy with an enticing complex nose. Tar ash and wood smoke. Beautifully balanced with a long finish. Round and smooth. Not over done with a little sweet caramel aftertaste. Great acidity and lingering persistent tannin. Aging gracefully.

  March 29, 2012 - Delicious, with foresty, earthy, smooth, balanced and red fruit driven flavors that are absolutely seductive. Its a fantastic wine in a fantastic place. I'd drink over the next 2-3 years.

  March 16, 2012 - Again struck by the colour of this. Red colour with ruby tones. Very young looking and followed up on the palate.
  Very precise on the palate. Much cleaner than the Val Sotillo and Alenza. Red fruits dominate and plenty of vigour. No overdone oak,
  hint of caramel perhaps from the barrels. The most refreshing of the three and seeming a lot younger.
  Looking forward to seeing how this develops. Very impressed on the night. (91+)
