May 1, 2020 - (Good) Bierzo can be age-worthy. Still dark; well-integrated nutmeg, red fruit, soft tannins, good lift; long finish

_Xenon Does not like this wine: 87 points
June 2, 2015 - I've had this wine 4 years in my cellar before drinking it. I rather should have invested in a nice Chianti Classico instead of buying this one for 14 €. Not my cup of tea.
BTW: Drinking window wide open. Dark, full bodied and - well - rough. -
