  April 3, 2022 - At 10 years of age, this old vines Garnacha is right about at its peak. It's not terribly complex, but the balance and integration are both excellent, the structure holding up with fine-grained tannins that are still fairly firm and lingering acidity that cuts through the ripe fruit, plus a solid core of minerality that, along with some pepper spice and herbal character, provides a nice savoury core and counterfoil to the dark cherry and berries. Aged for six months in American and French oak, it's seemingly both rich/deep and lightly vibrant, as well as both mature and youthful, and it probably has another 3-5 years of development left within its peak for the tannins to soften a bit more. It's a solid, serious Garnacha from Navarra, a decent value at $24 in Ontario, and just a really nice red entering its maturity. 88-89.

  May 12, 2020 - Stone, cranberry, spice. Really enjoyable and right smack in the middle of its drinking window, as far as im concerned. Drink through 2022.
