You would never know this bottle was a 2010, it tastes much younger. If I blind tasted it I would probably guess a Spanish Grenache. It's a lighter colored 13% alcohol blend a bit dry and earthy. You will definitely need either a screen or a decant, a lot of sediment in this one. I felt it was a little lacking in complexity for the price

Big, ripe, wine. Somewhat dirty almost. Sweetish and jammy but very tannic too. Reminded me of some reds from much further south along the Croatian Adriatic. Tasty but clumsy and overpriced.

Shared by a friend. I'm not into low intervention wines, but this was really good. Not just clean, but also balanced and elegant, it's not that rustic stuff I often find in this category. A bit restrained and not too complex, but lovely character. Shows some development, but still not fully mature. Nicely integrated acidity and a bit drying, but not harsh tannins. Almost traditional Bordeaux-like, linear and moderate alcohol palate, though a different style (no oak here, for example). Unshowy, but still classy with this great balance, not to mention the outstanding aftertaste. 90+

Expected more on the nose but powerful and wellbuilt with excellent length. Opens up in the glass
