My gosh, this is delicious. Still very young and primary, with enchanting Asian spices at the back end. Smooth, rounded tannins and a finish a mile long. The bouquet is particularly beguiling. So fresh; so inviting. A satisfying meal all by itself. This wine will likely outlive some of us. Drink now to 2040, if cellared properly. Outstanding.

They say this is the best mourvedre (monastrell, mataro) on the planet. Have to try. Very young, without decant. Stunning nose. Mouth very blueberry, Mediterranean spice, blackberry. Concentrated. Smoothest tannins, which is amazing considering the variety characteristics. Long. Lovely. Surely will be better with time, but drinking now is not a bad time!

95 now, could easily see 98+ in 5-7 years. Incredibly jammy after opening. Well integrated tannins even though it is young. The fruit, raspberry and blueberry is very upfront and hides some serious iron, meat notes that start to appear as it has been open for awhile.
Enjoyable now, will be excellent in a few years.

Double decanted with stir about 4 hrs prior and it seemed open with no change afterwards. Deep purple and ruby color. Heavy floral perfume, herbal blackberry, anise, earth on the nose. Bold, extracted dense plum and blackberry, balsamic, vanilla, light spice on the palate with 30-35 sec finish. Interested in seeing how this ages, hopefully will mellow out a bit.
