  Really interesting nose of borscht stew (tomato from the tempranillo with earthy root vegetable notes); over time, red currants fill in. Very smooth on the entry with lightly tart red fruit notes. Tomato and earthy notes fill in the mid palate with a nice acidic lift on the finish. Fairly well balanced although perhaps a hair light in concentration.
  
  Very much digging the rustic notes on this wine. Can't remember the last time I smelled borscht in a wine.

  The funky label and mishmash of varieties had me expecting something new-oaky and jammy, boy was I wrong. They've made a remarkably elegant, classically styled wine here, with minerality, complex and slightly earthy red fruits, baking spices, and a subtle bell pepper note. A very subtle, balanced, food friendly wine. Lithe, fresh, and supple. Absolutely brilliant.

  55/18/12/11/4 Tempranillo/Syrah/Merlot/Cabernet/Carignan. 9 months French oak. Nose of sweet bell pepper. Palette really fresh red fruit, white pepper, drinks like a light Rhone, medium acidity, medium plus finish that shows the fruit nicely, medium tannins, well structured wine. Great value buy.

  Het grote broertje van de Llebre. Net wat meer concentratie, meer hout en wat chocoladetonen.
