  April 29, 2020 - Pop n pour, very dark opaque core. The nose open up to blackcurrant, black cherry interwoven with savoury smoky dusty notes.
  Austere and rustic entry, it has high acidity that lifted the wine along with cherry, garrique, blueberry, leather, earth. Dusty, grippy tannins and medium finish.

  February 21, 2017 - Nose of blueberry, almost chalky with black pepper. Cranberry and dried fruit abound with toasted oak. Strong tannins and an earthy, acidic flourish on finish.

  September 8, 2016 - Very good richness of fruit, medium-plus acid, a little meaty. Rustic in its funk and slightly oxidized character, but all in a very pleasant way. Well balanced. An excellent partner for lamb shanks, where the acidity helps to cut through the all that gelatinized connective tissue. Excellent QPR. 89+. 13.5%, $15.
