A bit one dimensional on opening but opens up rapidly. After five minutes there is so much going on. It's impressively fresh for its age. Lavender, black cherry, blueberry, dried fig, meat, mushroom, cacao, and mixed spices (cloves, Chinese five spice, aniseed). Still lots of fresh acidity and tannin but integrated so perfectly now.

Jumped out of the page or better we say cellar of 10 Cases , London ( A great little wine gem - https://www.10cases.co.uk/) Well aged but as a true Ribera wine still has energy and the fruit is alive, earthy yes but also well matured. Meaty , Savory wine, and a joy! Drink now of course!

Acker Auction - May 2019 (Zuma in NYC): Enjoyable. Love some good age on a wine and this definitely seemed to do well with it. Nice currant, a certain vibrancy. And this kindof delicious undertone. Only knock is the finish was a bit quick.

Red currant, plum fruit, cedarwood and smoke. Palate is smooth with good clarity and sweetness. Drinking really well.
