  February 18, 2016 - Caçula da noite, um Roble em seu vermelho alegre e vivaz. Muito floral, algo mineral e repleto de cerejas frescas recém tiradas do pé, que se confirmavam em boca. Médio corpo, nada complexo, persistência decente e bom ganho com o delicioso Pimiento con Bacalao.

  December 15, 2015 - Nice bottle. Little fifferent profile than standard Temperanillo (Rioja).

  August 17, 2015 - Monday night Blinds at Nopa—Take 6 with TH (Nopa SF): Blind 2: Red
  
  VISUAL:
  Clear, bright.
  Medium plus ruby-purple with a violet rim.
  Moderate tears.
  
  NOSE:
  Low intensity nose with light brett (animal fur / 4-EP), some ripe red cherry, slight turned earth.
  
  PALATE:
  Medium plus body, medium plus alcohol ~13.5% (correct)
  Medium plus chewy tannins, elevated acidity.
  Slight oak (partial new oak) presenting as baking spices. [According to the producer’s notes, this spent 5 months in new French oak]
  
  CONCLUSIONS:
  Old world wine from a moderate climate.
  Possibly:
  -Northern Rhone (no black pepper, no dark fruit)
  -Chianti Classico (oak seems atypical, fruit character doesn’t fit)
  Final call (I knew this was bad given the oak, and aromatics: 2013 St. Joseph)
  
  Actually:
  Ribera del duero! I just wasn’t expecting something like this from Tempranillo. So extracted, so dark, and with so little oak.
  
  2013 Pago de los Capellanes Roble—Ribera del Duero
  5 months in new French oak.
  
  This seems well made, but I’m not the biggest fan of it’s integration - it seemed a bit disjointed.
  Score: around 8.5

  June 6, 2015 - A private lunch (Restaurant Librije's Zusje **, Amsterdam, NL): Youthful, vibrant, fresh and juicy cherry fruit, lactic, creamy, hint of spice, mineral and fresh, bright acidity, nice balance, ripe bitters from the skins; good length.
