February 19, 2024 - Vino muy expresivo en aroma. Sobre todo destaca la especia, tiene pimienta un toque de canela y vainilla. Se intuye la ciruela, que siempre ha sido una nota suya característica. También frutos negros.
En boca es sedoso, elegante y cálido. Conserva fruta con un punto de acidez bien equilibrada. -

April 29, 2022 - Full to medium bodied and feminin Ribero. Partly due to the 6 years of age. Nose is quite light with some cherries and spices. Palate with tempetanillo sweet notes, some tobacco and hints of oak, fresh acid with tannins getting low but still some strugling strengt. Medium lenght. Not much complexit therefore not difficult to balance well :-)

March 4, 2022 - Unfortunately for this wine, it follows three stellar wines tasted over the past couple of days (2 Bordeaux and 1 Italian); this just doesn't measure up, even taking into account the price difference. Good dark cranberry color. Nose with some red fruit but a bit stemmy. Kind of high-toned in the mouth, acid keeps the fruit a bit too much in check, at least at this young age. Might be better down the road but for now just a bit too woodsy and austere for my taste. 5-12-14-7: 88/100.
