  Deep black and blue fruits, quite smooth. Last had a year or so ago and it continues to improve. I’m letting the clio age more but wondering if this 2017 is better. Plenty of life ahead.

  This is big in every way, with ripe notes of blackberry and plum out front. Oak takes control, with hints of smoke and tar emerging late and lingering on the mildly tannic finish. The oak is more dominant than I'd prefer, but this is still a hedonistic treat.

  A charmer, but with depth, ready to support the favourable first impression with serious arguments. Not subtle, but proud and strong. Better after some time open. Decanting might have improved the impression further. The nose still quite alcoholic with its 15.5 degrees showing through. On the palate a touch of sweetness from highly concentrated fruit, followed by a long-lasting impression and aftertaste. One of those wines you want more of, event though it remains a hint monochromatic compared to other very good wines.

  Tasted after a 2 1/2 hour decant.
  Indicated blend is 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon & 10% Syrah.
  Dark ruby in colour with lovely aromas of sweet black fruit, background oak, sweet earth & somewhat herbal/floral.
  On the palate, full bodied black fruit, blackberry, cassis, blueberry, well integrated oak, herbal & earthiness with high acidity & high silky tannins.
  Finish is long to black pepper & crushed gravel.
  This is tasty, balanced, excellent wine!
  Still lovely deep, rich flavour on night #3.
