I wanted to give sign this as spoiled but my friends told me this is probably it's smell..so well..stable..bad egg..I bought this after trying their more entry level Alhambra thinking (wrongly) that this would just be the much better version and I was so wrong. Palate more interesting but that smell..which didn't go even after few hours open. Well not my type of wine.

By the bottle at the HUB at Weston Playhouse in Weston, VT. Nose is smoky and earthy like an island volcano with crunchy strawberries, lifted floral, almost like lily, notes. So good. Palate is so energetic, fresh, lifted, more strawberries, cranberries, slight candy note, but not detracting from it. Bangin acidity, long finish. This is going down way too easy; killer stuff.

A rather impressive wine that exceeded my low-ish expectations. There is real purity to the fruit with loads of strawberry and cherry backed my minerality. Excellent concentration and refinement. Who knows given the relative newness of these wines, but I suspect it would age and gain some real interesting nuance. 92-93 today with upside.

The lightest of 12 Canary Island wines tasted. Has a softness and medium level of tannin. Little fruit. Nose of roast meat.

Light red, interesting nose- smoky, earthly, raspberry, v Pinot like, finesse & good complexity, will improve with age, excellent wine
