January 11, 2023 - In Las Vegas, had it with tapas. Wild crazy markup on the price. More tannic than WineFolly says mencia grape would be, like tea bag sucking tannic. Still. A good pairing with the spicy fatty tapas. Needs food.

March 12, 2019 - Sur les fruits noirs bien juteux, avec une note balsamique et une impression de grande pureté du fruit. À la fois vivace et bien en chair, digeste au possible, tout en ayant de la profondeur. Finale fraiche et salivante. Un rapport Q/P indéniable!!

January 29, 2019 - Le vin dégage des notes animales, de cerises noires, de mûre et de réglisse. La bouche est vive et fruité, de grande pureté avec des tanins fins, le tout digeste et sans accroc. Fidèle à lui-même! Excellent rapport Q/P !!

October 23, 2018 - Toujours aussi bon! Un vin frais, juteux et rassasiant! Petite touche funky, légèrement barnyard au départ, ensuite on est sur la cerise éclatante, la réglisse, la fumée et la violette. La bouche est souple et juteuse, dirigé par une belle acidité, des tanins fins et légère amertume. On sent également une subtile salinité qui ajoute complexité et fraicheur. Jolie rétro réglissé. Finale de grande pureté. Excellent rapport Q/P à 17$ CAD.
