  May 2, 2024 - 8 years old but tastes even older, somehow (the vines, perhaps?). Roaring, smoky fruit and spicy meat form the core of this delicious new school Rioja. I taste pork belly, dark tart cherry, star anise, herbes des Provence, and a flirty dash of pepper (or is it perhaps pimentón? ah, the power of terroir suggestion!). Despite the distinct flavors on display, this is masterfully balanced--nothing is overwhelming, even from the point of opening, though the fruit begins to fade into the background after an hour or so.
  
  I've had a few of Oxer's offerings as of late, and this shines among them.

  June 5, 2021 - Rich and savory fruits with a lot of power. Amazing to get such beautiful fruit and structure from the Grenache without over ripe flavors or over extraction. This wine was a pleasure to drink. Bold dark fruits with gripping tannins and mouth watering acidity. Loved it.
