Great value. I prefer with some more bottle time. Decant — 10 months ago
Nez peu expressif bouche fruité tapissante tanins ronds — 9 months ago
Nose is classic Touriga National violets, cherry liqueur, and earthy crushed stone. Soft and mouthfilling, it’s intensely minerally on the palate, with enough dark cherry extract fruit to keep it from being too one-dimensional. Tannins are super-soft, and there is abundant acidity.
UPDATE. A few hours later interesting notes of cinnamon are emerging. — a year ago

Big nose but not big body. Very tasty but not worth the 100+ price. Really nice but not good value. 80/20 Syrah/ mouvedre. — 6 months ago

Mid range Raul Perez, I actually found this more pleasing than the higher range — 3 months ago
Dry farmed! Color of blood. Or a bruised plum. Smells like Spanish red. Wood shavings. Berry-cherry pies. Menthol. Flavors are dense and on point. Plenty of woodsy stuff in the mouth too. Just a little fennel. Black cherries. Tannins are tongue drying and pleasant. Hint of licking a sharpened pencil tip perhaps. This is classic Rioja with all the trimmings. — 5 months ago

Field blend of 85% Mencia and rest other local varieties from 100+yo pre phylloxera vines. From the bearded Bierzo wizard Raoul Perez. Violets on the nose, and a fresh spicy pinot noir ish palate. — 37 minutes ago
