  Drinking beautifully at 9 years of age. Bright medium ruby (almost pale i.e. quite translucent), beautifully expressive (almost pronounced) nose and very elegant, mature and medium intensity palate offering some lingering and seemingly candied red fruit and integrated secondary flavors that are kept in check by a refreshing acidity and - despite the wine's age - a frame of fine but unobtrusive tannins. I'm confident the structure of the wine allows it to continue to age and develop (more) tertiary flavors for several more years. A true delight to drink now along a truffle, potato and smoked spinach dish as well as a spring chicken filet served with bordelaise and a stew of the chicken legs with salsify and tarragon.
  
  As pleasing and classy as it was though, I'm not sure I would be ready to purchase the new vintages of this wine at the current retail prices they seem to fetch. Was fortunate to drink this 2015 vintage in a restaurant at a price well below that level (as it was bought at a time the prices were still reasonable)...

  A little darker than the Las Iruelas, with cherry like aromas, in addition to herbs and and spices. Airy, pure, fragrant and seductive.

  I think far to early to have drunk this. Impressive structure, so I think this will only really show its true form in years to come. Ripe fruit, but far more mineral nose than the immense floral bouquets from other Landi/ Comando G wines. Palate shows great balance, some spice and fruit but again complex minerality. Long finish. Winemaking skill on clear display, but I wish I’d left it a few years longer to be honest...

  Moestue’s book launch of «The New Vignerons» (Grand Cafe, Oslo): Nose: Great nose.
  Taste: More robust (than Las Iruelas). Fruitiness and a lot of mineral “spice”.
