  Wonderful with food, with an astonishingly long and complex finish. Adventure in a glass. Those with an open mind and curious palate will enjoy this one.

  Not much change from my last TN. Four bottles drunk in between then and now with similar results. A delicious, complicated yet incredibly drinkable bottle and and a terrific value to boot.

  Fabulous, delicious, but perhaps too different for some folks (based on another comment).
  Fruit and black pepper flavors, combined with a light body, make this a *very* versatile wine, ==>especially if served a little chilled.
  We had it with my smoked salmon and it was delicious. Also went well with my girl’s chocolate toffee.

  80 points at best. Highly, highly acidic -- so much so that no other tastes came through. An interesting experiment -- and we have really liked other Canary Island wines -- but will not be buying this one again.

  Recommended by a valued retailer as something interesting, and why would one not want to try a carbonic macerated Listan Negro?
  
  Fresh cracked red peppercorn, creosote, tar, and black fruits on the nose. Medium bodied, very savory and meaty, with more pepper, but with an interesting juxtaposition of this seemingly structured and meaty/wild notes with a suppleness and sap to its palate. It mid weighted at most, but seems broader. There is a breadth and round edges, with a softness and suppleness, when I was expecting something more stern and angular. It has a simultaneous sense of wildness yet cohesion. I like this contrast quite a bit. Wild blackberries, tar, dry rub barbecue, and more fresh cracked pepper on the long and very savory finish. This is my second ever Listen Negro still red wine, and both have had this Chambolle meets Pelaverga nature that I find very interesting. I really enjoyed this and will seek out more. A terrific wine for roasted bird, game, or just about any roasted/ grilled meat for that matter. Blackened fish would be terrific as well. Great value to boot. Drink now.
