Nice bramble fruit aromas with a little hint of almost sweet tobacco. Juicy black fruit and the same tobacco character on the entry. Earthy and rocky with good grip and excellent acidity. There is a little sour fruit on the finish, reminds me of cooked rhubarb.

Inexpensive Spanish Wines (SF Wine Trading Company): Light red. Herbs and anise on the nose. Light to medium weight with good flesh. Peppery black fruit, spice, blood orange, good acidity. Interesting and good. It brought to mind some Corsican reds.

I think this wine is amazing. For such a young wine, the nose is very complex. There's barnyard and chestnut and brambly blackberry. The palate shows moderate tannins, a lot of acidity, and a robust, meaty flavor. This is a standout value.

Great stuff and one of the most interesting reds I've had so far. Nose - mineral/earthy. Palate - quite deep black fruited notes but with an earthy twist on the finish. Medium bodied - think cru beaujo a bit more oomph. Must buy more @£11 from TWS

Bright red berry aromas. A lovely fresh, zippy style with a savoury, earthy note on the entry and spicy red fruits dominating the palate. Has a really light touch and the tannins are super-fine, holding everything together, excellent value.

Bibendum Trade Portfolio Tasting 2014: Pepper, florals, musky chalk and some sulphur. Has plenty of grip and the fruit is well into the background. Not as much interest as the white for me, but still has character.

Bouquet of dusty volcanic soils, violets, cracked pepper, and sanguinity. Powerful, terroir-driven mouthfeel. Juicy attack, bracing mid palate of wonderful depth, rustic and backward. Seductive tannic grip at the back and a long, intricate finish. Somewhat reminiscent of Sagrantino di Montefalco. Crazy value!

Served by the glass at Cuenllas bar. What we really appreciate is that minerality, that sense of terroir that these wines give off all the time. A new winery to watch...sooner than later.
Servida por copas en la barra del restaurante Cuenllas. Lo que de verdad nos gusta es esa mineralidad, ese sentido del terruño que estos vinos exhalan todo el tiempo. Una nueva bodega a seguir...más temprano que tarde.

Rubied; brambly fruit, iron filings, cinders; soft & supple, dark fruits, easy going mid-palate; brooding, pushy finish. Drink up.

Stinky nose -- barnyard, volcanic ash -- but dark fruit, mineral on palette. Medium-bodied, good balance. Great contrast, fun, different wine.

I can totally get down with this wine. Juicy, bretty, and carbonic. Funky, but not overly so. Perfect weeknight red.
