Beautiful bouquet with sweet spices. On the palate sweet spices, dark berries, sweet chocolate, some rustic impressions and beautiful acidity and round tannin. Great wine.

Approachable with at least 1 hour decant. No detail note. I found it to be rather new world with lots of plump fruit. The old vines does show through. A very interesting wine as a ringer, but I don't think that it is worth the price. 91 for now, potentially 93-94

Rarely have I tasted a wine so smooth and with such great length on the finish. Flowers, tar is what I can detect but I have to admit that this wine is probably wasted on me, at least at this stage of my wine life!! Later in the dinner I am getting as much out of €18 - 25 wines - particularly Juan Gil wines in that price range - as from this @ €140.
In truth, whatever it has that warrants that sort of price, I'm not getting. Pity, I guess I'm the loser here.

18 months in oak; strong vanilla notes but relatively accessible. Deep and complex. Spot on. Very old vines (prephylloxera). Needless to say - my favourite from Teso La Monja. [Justerini Spanish wine tasting event Sep 1, London].

Nice balance. Tannins still present. Complex.
