Für den Preis - ca 11,50 Euro - ein unglaublicher Wein aus Castilla la Mancha. Cuvee aus Syrah. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot und Petit Verdot. 18 Monate im neuen französischen Holz ausgebaut. Fruchtig mit Noten von schwarzen Früchten, dazu Gewürze, Graphit. Elegant mit guter Länge. Dicht und super strukturiert. Exzellentes Preis-Qualitäts-Verhältnis.

I was worried when I first opened this that it was on the downside but it just needed about an hours worth of air to smooth out and shine. One of my favorite every day type wines that is aging extremely well. Glad I have several more. Fantastic qpr.

This took about 15 minutes to open up, and then it was an excellent 16 year old wine that tasted more like it was 8 or so years old. Plenty of fruit but some secondary characteristics coming out. Lots of density and no sign of being tired. Good with lamb chops.

Actually a good aged wine. Unfortunately, the 4th of 5 bottles had a bad cork. It's time to drink it now. It's slightly above its zenith. Significant ripe aroma.
