March 27, 2022 - Black-purple. Blackberry and varnish aroma. Crisp berry fruit, but not as good as previous bottles. Not very complex right now. I think this wine has shut down. Hopefully in a few more years it will have more about it.

November 14, 2020 - Black-purple. Whiff of blackberries and flowers. Crisp dark fruits, lovely precise berry flavours.

November 6, 2020 - First time having this bottling of Envinate. Fuller bodied/bigger than their other wines, but still remains balanced. There is a little reduction right now so some air is beneficial. I think I prefer the Canary/Ribeira Sacra bottlings, but this is nice too (and another good QPR).

October 28, 2020 - A bit heavy footed, the tannins are pretty strong and the fruit hasn’t the vibrancy to cut through and make it all work, a disappointing bottle of this cuvee

March 23, 2020 - Subtle nose of floral red berries, blue ginger, star anise and lightly toasted almond nuts. Interesting. Palate is fresh and clean. High energy but not much depth. Cleansing acidity defined the savoury mid-palate. Light to Medium bodied. Finish is somewhat short with some red fruits aftertaste. By itself it is not very special but it should pair very well with grilled octopus or sardines with olive oil and any oily tapas that are simply prepared. Drink it now or keep a few more years are perfectly fine for this Garnacha.
