Tasted over three days and enjoyed every sip. All elements volcanic dominate, along with an enchanting peppery sappiness, suspended in a pithy red fruited juiciness that features excellent precision and lift. The wine also features an intriguing piercing quality, imparting an impression of hard minerals and precision stones. Off-the-chain QPR!

My first Canary Island wine and I didnt have high expectations but all the reviews on here really nail this wine. Minerality and saline are my biggest notes. Lots of fruit left and will probably get better with age. Most of my consumption is Spanish and Canary wines are now on my radar. Very nice.

Over 100 years old single vineyard of ungrafted vines. Restrained power, not showy, but full of tension and life. Very youthful, primal, unsettled, for some time even rather closed and ungiving. Needs air to open up to light smoke and dry sweet paprika. Sleek on the palate with lifted acidity, light and fruity. Long clean finish. I believe this can get better with age.

Interesting off the bat, but starts out really tight on the palate. Earthy, herbal, anaimale on the nose, cross between northern rhone and burgundy. Red fruit, and similar flavors on the palate, high toned. Nice complexity and very interesting for the price. Really enjoyed this.
