Drank over three days. I think day 3 showed best. It doesn’t have the animal or brooding flavors I associate with mataro. This tuned out to be soft and smooth. Blue fruits again with low acid and tannins.

Been saving this for a while as last bottle was just average but in retrospect probably needed more aeration. This did not initially start well as a brief decant did not help. Very inert light fruit with no tannins or acid I corked 1/2 the bottle and went to bed hoping for more on day 2. Day 2 she was ready to go. Delicate and soft for this varietal. Blue fruits I suppose. Best as stand alone wine as it is not sturdy enough for food. Given its composition drink soon.

Dark and brooding with good fruit, well integrated tannins. Seems to be on its back end.

As before. Drinking very well now. Blackberries with great balance, some acidity still.
