  June 25, 2022 - Deep ruby-purple. Woody - cedar. Liquorice. Dark cherry and plum. Super interesting nose. On the palate it is full bodied and the notes carry through. Very good length. Mouthwatering. Darker fruits, but savoury more than overtly fruity. Good tannin structure and freshness.

  October 1, 2020 - Blackish reddish purple with a watery rim. The nose is pretty much dominated by greenish brambly and herbaceous qualities which seems to overpower the fruit and a touch of wet earth with some rubber tire notes. After an hour of aeration, a meaty animal funkiness emerged. The palate is medium-bodied, relatively well-balanced, quite fresh, with a slight savory finish. The flavor components of this Andalusian red made from their native Tintilla de Rota variety (a.k.a. Graciano in Rioja) is quite similar to the nose mentioned earlier. Lots of herb-inflected brambly fruits, slight menthol and green tobacco, raw, meat and finishes with a good amount of delightful earthy minerals, old rubber tires. This is a pleasant drinker and somewhat different from my usual varieties. It sort of reminds me of some of the Spanish wines from the Tarragona, Catalunya region that I have tried in the past. This is one of the three single vineyard expressions of the indigenous Tintilla de Rota grape made by the producer. This is one from Carrascal while the other two are from Balbaina and Corchuelo located in and around the VT Cadiz appellation. Much better on the first night; by the second evening, the fruit started to show and the greenish herbaceous qualities disappeared. However, the alcohol became so overbearing then everything started to fall apart.
