The modern side of Rioja Garnacha. Respects the red fruit, raspberries, keeping the rose petals. Medium light bodied, nice acid, juicy. — a month ago
A great white wine, big, yet balanced, with Rioja tipicity on the Viura, a smart use of oak and an ample acidity. Candlewax, Lemmon, dry peaches, the almond in the finish. — a month ago
I felt it a bit sweet, expressive nose of yeast, ananas, peaches. Good acid, but more volume and sweetness than what I remembered. — 3 days ago
Best and most surprising Ribera for a while! Strawberry fields, white acacia blossom, on the red elegant side with silky tannins and a remarkable acidity. Glorious, don’t know the ageing but it’s promising this 2021 — a month ago
A rewritten, millennial, view on Garnacha. The elegance, flowers, raspberries, light bodied, some tannins (stem?) and a remarkable freshness. Spicy, acid, tension keeping juice — a month ago
Always fine. The blood, iron like hint of Mencía, very mineral, fine red fruit and great acid — 2 months ago
Wow! Best Syrah I have tried from Spain. Expressive, elegant, fine tannins, super fruit driven, with violets, smoke, plums, delicious. A discovery from a great house — 21 days ago
A discovery! A fine version of good old Listán Negro from the Canaries. A 20% of an unknown San Francisco to me. On the wine side. Spices, in a restrained nose, lemmon, white pepper, a note of cinnamon. Medium/light bodied, rose petals, red, spicy, with fine length, remarkable acidity. — a month ago
Great value! Tons of dark fruit yet refreshing acidity. A discovery and a recommendation, at its price point it is a true Champion — 2 months ago

I remember the first time I had this wine. Loved it. Then my palate moved on and I admit that drinking this dark fruit, liquorice, blackberries, coffee beauty, 9 years old by now, is fun. Heavy on the dark, Priorat tipicity and good. — 2 days ago
