Brilliant ruby-red. Ripe dark berry, vanilla and woodsmoke scents, along with a hint of peppery spices that builds as the wine opens up. Smooth and seamless in the mouth, offering plush, smoke-tinged blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that show very good breadth. Rich and vaguely decadent in character, with velvety tannins shaping the sweet, dark fruit-dominated finish. This decadent wine is ready to drink. (sourced from vines that are over 80 years old) (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2019)

Surprisingly feather light on the palate. Fig & raisins, blue and black fruits. Tons of earth and very nice acidity. Yessir I like it!
Quiles makes an awesome vermouth btw...

2008 vintage - a very disappointing & unpleasant wine - ?over the hill or just no good?

Delicious. Changes dramatically over the course of the bottle. Great with food.
