  July 7, 2023 - Third of three. Final bottle of a series I started drinking more than eight years ago. Cork quite soaked and initially gives off odors of TCA. They quickly dissipate by stirring the wine in the glass to offer aromas of thyme and rosemary along with the characteristic notes of cherries in yogurt. In the mouth it has a velvety texture, medium-bodied wine but with intensity on the palate preserving acidity, unbalanced alcoholic presence and an aqueous finish. It has remained only with a gastronomic profile. In my opinion and I according with this bottle, close to its consumption limit.
  
  Tercera de tres. Botella final de una serie que comencé a beber hace más de ocho años. Corcho bastante empapado y que inicialmente desprende olores a TCA. Se disipan rápidamente al remover el vino en la copa pasando a ofrecer aromas a tomillo y romero junto con las características notas a cerezas en yogurth. En boca presenta una textura aterciopelada, vino de cuerpo medio pero con intensidad en el paladar conservando acidez, presencia alcohólica desequilibrada y un final acuoso. Se ha quedado tan solo con un perfil gastronómico. En mi opinión y acorde con esta botella, cerca ya su límite de consumo.

  February 23, 2021 - My first Faiveley, and I have to say, I really liked it. Pure raspberry with a little forest floor (the dryish green mossy king, not the damp mushroomy kind). I know these are supposed to be fairly tough early on, but at 11 years of age I found this structured but supple. Not particularly complex, but very enjoyable.

  June 18, 2019 - And times go by and four years have passed since the previous bottle and still retains a huge acidity and that rustic touch that I like so much. It maintains that softness on the nose with herbaceous notes and fresh fruit. Also meaty. Aqueous texture in mouth with a short length. I will continue experimenting. My last bottle in 2.023.
  
  Y han transcurrido cuatro años desde la botella anterior y sigue conservando una acidez descomunal y ese toque rústico que tanto me gusta. Mantiene esa suavidad en nariz con notas herbáceas y de fruta fresca. También carnoso. Textura acuosa en boca con una escasa longitud. Seguiré experimentando. Mi última botella en 2.023.

  March 31, 2018 - Ruby red color. Bright strawberry nose. Strawberry, cherry, and a touch of earthiness on the palate. Medium tannins and acidity. In its drinking window, but has at least another 5 years.
