June 16, 2019 - Wunderbarer Wein, hervorragend zum Fleisch. Da passt schon fast alles perfekt, den Wein finden wohl auch die Traditionalisten super. Wird wohl in den nächsten Jahren noch laufend besser. Aber warum warten, wenn der jetzt schon so viel Freude macht?

January 14, 2019 - decanted 4-5 hrs
this stepped up to the plate after the decant
long luxurious length and finish
Unique cranberries and fruit profile that I have only tasted with this producer
may not be the wine that unico is but who cares?

December 2, 2018 - Dark berries and lots of licorice. Great structure and nice firm tannins but it is not ready yet, needs at least 2-3 more years.

October 21, 2018 - Granate de buena capa. Nariz expresiva, bien definida, con buena fruta roja madura, incluso por momentos, confitada, notas especiadas, suaves tostados y algún toque de cueros finos y vainilla. En boca tiene buen ataque, cuerpo medio, un paso con excelente presencia, largo y bien definido. Muy buena presencia y yo diría que aún al principio de su proceso de evolución en botella...

September 1, 2018 - Primavera y verano cálidos. Rojo granate de buena capa. En nariz es intenso, mentolado, perfil algo más moderno, fruta negra y matices especiados. En boca resulta potente, algo secante, con un tanino vivo. Intenso, estructurado, con buena acidez y bastante persistencia.
