May 21, 2023 - Smoke and earth/tar on nose. Cherry notes with
earth on initial taste. Needs a slight chill for the fruit to come out. -

January 5, 2023 - (Day 2) - color: medium ruby; nose: red cherry, cranberry, thyme; taste: medium-bodied mouth feel, bright red fruit taste, medium+ acidity, moderate alcohol, medium-length finish with notes of leather and slightly chalky tannins; overall: masculine, Old World personality, good balance, good with jamon, drinking nicely as of Winter 2023 and with enough stuffing for another 3-4 years.

May 30, 2022 - Spanischer Blend aus Tempranillo und Garnacha. Spontanvergoren und unfiltriert. Kräftiges granatrot im Glas. Spannende Nase: Dunkle Früchte wie Kirsche und Brombeeren aber auch Eukalyptus und Lakritze in der Nase. Im Mund sehr samtig mit ausgewogenen Tanninen und leichter Würzigkeit im Abgang. Abgang mit mittlerer Länge. In Summe mittlerer Körper und interessanter Wein. Geht gut runter und Preis-Leistungsverhältnis in Ordnung.

November 15, 2021 - Much lighter and brighter than we expected from Tempranillo clone. More like Pinot. Light color, fast legs. Nose has herbs (thyme, rosemary, oregano) and min fruit (cranberry?). Bright, acidic taste. No tannins. Think Spanish Pinot
