First of all, great value at $55. This is an intense anejo that doesn’t allow the barrel to overwhelm the agave. Just a touch a sweetness makes this a fantastic digestif. The nose: caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, agave, white pepper, coconut, pineapple. The tongue: more of the same with a nice alcohol presence that really cuts through the richness. — a month ago

9.7

Nose: intense right out the bottle - cranberries, moist leaves, mud, pine needles, cherries, some notes of stewed plums and a little funkiness, like a good hard cheese.
Tongue: explosive, dark and beautiful. The stewed plums are more prominent on the first sip, as is the cheesy funkiness. The structure is just perfect and the acid assertive. It needs to be to stand up to the bold fruit flavors. It tastes a little hot, but not so much that it flies out of balance. A really delicious wine that is drinking perfectly in May 2023.

My first vintage champagne. It’s really good, but a bit fruity for me. Lots of green apple, lemon curd, some nice minerality. I still prefer a drier style. — 4 months ago

9.2

Nose - blackberries, pencil shavings, rosemary, stewed plums. Palate - surprisingly high acidity, lots general dark red fruit, way too hot. Less nuanced and complex than the smell. Decently balanced while still quite lush. It’s a fine Rhône table wine. Great value at $20. — 6 months ago

8.5

Nose - vanilla, caramel, Elmer’s glue (?), toasted almonds. Palette - brown sugar dominates the taste with some off, artificial vanilla notes. The finish has an odd, metallic bitterness that lingers for a while. It’s too sweet for me, but could be good in some cocktails. — 6 months ago
