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.

July 3, 2018 - Vega Sicila smakk og kvöldverður á Nostra (Nostra veitingastaður): Næst í röðinni var 2011. Liturinn svipaður og á 2010. Í nefi jarðartónar, brenndir tónar líka. Ekki eins skemmtilegt í nefi og 2010. Þynnra í bragði en tían. Bruni og reykur. Mjög tannínríkt. Talsvert óheflaðra en 2010. Vann samt á í glasinu og var orðið viðkunnanlegt undir lokin.
