Medium ruby towards crimson, really pretty color. Cherries and roses on the nose, bit of leather. High acid, almost slightly effervescent feeling from it. Medium+ tannin. 14%. — 5 years ago

Medium ruby, some turbidity. H verified it is unfiltered. Natural wine. Red fruit. Plum. No traces of oak, unsurprisingly. Medium high tannin. Wine does not seem well-balanced. Can’t say I love this wine, but it’s certainly interesting. — 5 years ago

Really delicious, interesting wine. Deep magenta. High density. Dark fruit. Very little oak on the nose, no vanilla etc. Flavor is well balanced and somewhat inscrutable. High acid, medium+ tannin.

Round 2 with this wine. Deep ruby, surprisingly turbid. More acidic than I remember. Mostly merlot, plus cab, raboso, et al. Would rate 8.5 today.
