June 12, 2022 - Decantados dos horas. Color picota muy intenso. Aroma intenso y profundo , muy agradable regaliz, fruta negra, tierra, madera, tierra. La boca tiene un mucho cuerpo y entrada potente, está estructurado y es untuoso, tiene excelente acidez y expresividad frutal con madera bien puesta aunque parece algo desequilibrado y en todo caso me gusta más en nariz que en boca. Final largo

April 18, 2022 - Closed and tense when opened. High tannins. After an hour in the decanter this opened up beautifully, showing great integrityand complexity. Great length and perfect balance.

February 21, 2022 - A splendid roller coaster ride for the senses! Big time nose and legs for days. Still bright with nice acidic punch for balance. Heat from the high alcohol. Stewed prunes and leathery goodness with some crunchy red fruit as well…very much worth the wait and drinking well!
Decanted 90 mins, paired with paella. -

December 6, 2020 - Bit closed on opening, decanted 1.5hr, continued to open up and be more balanced over next hour. Limited bouquet, deep, inky color, smooth, mid-weight mouthfeel, refined dark fruit—evolving from berry to liquorice to slightly sweeter fruit, some structure but not very tannic. No apparent tobacco. Echos of Bordeaux and oak. 14.5% alcohol but neither heady nor hot. This wines has legs and will probably be better in 5+ years.

September 15, 2019 - Granate cubierto. Nariz atractiva, bien perfilada, con notas de fruta roja madura, algo de cedro, ligeros toques de canela, humo y regaliz negra. En boca tiene buen ataque, cuerpo medio, tanino dulce y pulido, estructura media, notable frescura, buen peso de fruta y resulta largo y con profundidad. Aunque tiene mucha vida por delante está ya muy disfrutable....
