  February 28, 2021 - Very honest for the price, sweet oak with figs,plums, vanilla in check and not overbearing, a nice GR that will wait another 10 years easy, good length much better the day after, classic old school and love that style ! 89, possibly 91 with a couple of years behind her neck.

  January 8, 2021 - Super heavy on the oak. Overwhelmed everything else. Not as good nor balanced as other years.

  October 31, 2020 - I let this Tempranillo decant for approx 2 hours before pouring & when swirled slow lazy legs appeared. This wine showed medium ruby/garnet like colour along with incredible aromas of red fruit (tart cherry) & figs. On the palate this wine had a hint of sweetness of red fruits along with notes of vanilla & dill. This wine had medium to high tannins you felt on your tongue along with a very decent body with a long super smooth finish. This was a very decent “good” scoring wine with great quality for the $27.50 price tag.
