Très typique de Raul Perez dans le style. Tannins fins, acidité franche, amertume avec un taux d'alcool raisonnable. Le tout procure un équilibre et une longueur appréciable. J'ai beaucoup aimé mais Catherine a trouvé l'amertume dérangeante.

Shy nose of dark chocolate and candied cherry, med + acidity, med length, smooth and well integrated tannins, wondering if would further develop tertiary notes

Single blind tasting Ruby color, filtered Aromatics are medium +. Earth, evergreen and crisp fresh red fruit Palate is medium. Tannins medium +, rough in character on the gums and roof of mouth. Acidity medium +. Earth, chalk and secondary cherry. Length is medium + with balance leaning more towards the tannins than I remember from my last tasting. While I still like the wine, usually I would have expected a little more fruit on the palate.

Dark violet color with mild clearing Medium plus aromas of ripe cherry/ cranberry and forest floor - nice Medium palate of red fruit and minerality Medium sandy tannins and medium plus acidity Palate doesnt hold up to expectations on the nose, thus not warranting a better score

Dark cherry, some vanilla, wet rocks and violets on the nose. Great acidity and minerality on the palate. Finish falls off just a bit. Great with food (leftover thanksgiving turkey and trimmings). Terrific QPR!
