9.0

2021 vintage. Tasted with Andrew the owner. Pleasant with plenty of berry compote/pastille action and some spice on the finish. Needs another 6 months to gain some weight and get centered/grounded. 11.20.24. — 14 hours ago

2019 vintage. A bit richer than expected. Slightly less grip than anticipated. This is a great wine “cheat code” for Spain and Rioja. Showing nicely now. 11.20.24. — 16 hours ago

9.2

2022 vintage. From a 375ml sample. Delicious, ripe and fleshy with enough accompanying structure to balance things out. 11.20.24. — 17 hours ago

9.3

2018 vintage. The year not the biggest and brightest but this was on point and present throughout the show. Better than expected work experience and references. Really nice now but likely atop the bell curve in 5-7 years. 11.20.24. — 17 hours ago

9.4

2021 vintage. Tasted four times in just over a year. Consistent with body (medium), spice factor (check) and finish (lengthy). Enjoyed yet again with the owner, Andrew. 11.20.24. — 14 hours ago

2022 vintage. Medium body. I swear at one point, this smelled like 1978 new Cadillac Eldorado interior leather seats. Oh, when those hitherto buried scents come a calling…11.20.24. — 15 hours ago

9.3

2021 vintage. The white/black pepper thingy (pesticides) in the nose. Light-medium body. Super-chiseled with dark fruit, aforementioned pepper presence, graphite and hints of blackberry. Lean and mean. 11.20.24. — 17 hours ago

9.4

2023 vintage. Pretty banging without being weighty/heavy. Good balance of fruit, acidity and mineral presence along with the juice tasting “sun kissed.” Tasted with the owner, Andrew. 11.20.24. — 14 hours ago

9.2

2022 vintage. Light-medium body. Cola nut, clove and rhubarb along for the ride. Fairly dependably offering for the last decade from a solid producer. 11.20.24. — 15 hours ago
