  Light ruby color fading to orange rime
  Medium plus aromas if red cherry/ cranberry with sweet red/ purple floral notes/ rose, followed by significant volcanic/ ash mineral notes which eventually are dominant
  Medium bodied with linear palate - crunchy red berry with dried lavender/ green herbs and again pretty intense minerality - ash/ lava
  Medium plus acidity and medium tannins and medium alcohol
  Moderate length led by acid and mineral notes
  Drinking well now but with good 3-5 yrs to go based on fruit quality - not sure this will improve with aging however
  This style of wine is very appealing to me but not sure it will be to everyone

  bottle drunk over several days, did not evolve much. beautiful nose with notes of fresh red fruits, a little bit of spices and a touch of green with underpins the freshness of the nose. the palate is fresh, could be a pinot noir or an elegant grenache.

  First Canary Islands wine for me; this sits somewhere between a Pinot Noir & a Cabernet Franc in body & weight. 50-150 yr old indigenous vines grown in the north-east of Tenerife in black volcanic basalt.
  
  Pale garnet. An ultra savoury affair with minimal fruit character coming through. There's red cherry & red plums, but mostly I get earth, musk, leather, barnyard, pepper & some smokey charcuterie. Also, I get a lot of Brett but it doesn't detract from the wine IMO.
  Powdery tannins, mild acid. Unique wine!

  Decanted for 3 hrs or so. Effusive nose, lots of great dark cherry fruit with juicy acidity, some tannins still to resolve. Very tasty

  Nice nose with notes of roses, tart red plum, earth, strawberries, and salinity. High acidity with lots of tart red fruit, raspberry, red plum, and blood orange on the palate. Good structure and nice finish. Lovely wine. Feels young and has structure, fruit, and acidity to age well, but also quite approachable now. 93+
