Great wine, and value. Same winemaker involved in Marcoux if I'm not mistaken. — 6 years ago

I was gifted this bottle last year and since I had decided on lamb for dinner, I figured a 2014 Marcoux would be splendid (spoiler alert: it was). Popped and poured; consumed over the course of a few hours. The wine pours a garnet color with a transparent core and browning edge with a slightly watery rim. Medium+ viscosity with very light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous. Powerful notes of desiccated strawberries, black cherry, bramble preserves…ensconced in leather. This is a real leather daddy. But there is more! Red flowers, hot rocks, garrigue, mushrooms, dry leaf tobacco, and allspice. On the palate, the wine is dry, with medium tannin and medium acid. I would say that the tannins have mostly integrated at this point. Note from the nose are confirmed. Alcohol is medium+ alcohol and the finish is long. As the 2014’s from CdP continue to mature, they are becoming even more Burgundian and I’m here for it! They are so unique and strong producers made stupendous wine. NOTE: this bottle came across more advanced than I anticipated and may not be indicative of better cellared examples of 2014 Marcoux. The cork did show very slight signs of seepage which could have caused the wine to oxidize more than normal at this stage. Nevertheless, this was a beautiful, mature wine that perhaps gave a glimpse of what we can expect when the 2014’s begin to enter their twilight years. Drink now and over the the next 3-5 years. — 8 months ago

Unctuous. Best way to describe this wine right now. Drank alongside a Marcoux CdP and this wasn’t even close to the Marcoux’s character and depth. Not to say this wasn’t a good wine; in fact, it was quite good indeed. Expectedly modern. Blue fruits and spice and lots of it. Bigger than the Marcoux for sure. Color was a huge contrast being more purple and the Marcoux’s bright red. Tannins weren’t too obtrusive. Decent acid. Not sure what to do with these wines. Drink now? Do they need more age to become their best? The 15.5% scares me a bit. Right now, this comes across too young. — 4 years ago

Could smell the wine across the room. Marcoux VV if blind tasted. Hard to believe it's Tempranillo — 7 years ago
