Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2016 Villero pours a bright garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of Morello cherry, raspberry, fresh roses, tar, orange curaçao, talcum powder, dried green herbs, and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. Villero is one of those MGA‘s that will show well young and this was no exception. While other 2016’s might still be locked down, this was full of pleasure. With this much balance, there’s a long life yet ahead. Drink now through 2066+. — 2 months ago

Lacks the overwhelming roses of the 2016, but otherwise beautifully complex and serious. Bargain $202.50 from WA. At home with Curly. — 3 months ago

Intense and deep. Leather and roasting, spices and heavy clay and chewy tans and everything in between. Drank it over three days with a variety of steak and roasted mushrooms and Italian food and it went well with everything just very broad and deep and brewing.  — 2 months ago

Bright Ruby red color with aromas of red berry fruits, sweet spice, tea and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with spice, licorice and floral notes. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral spice and slight earthy mineral character. Good value! — 2 months ago

Excellent wine.

Would have never guessed it was 25 years old.

After some time in decanter and in the glass - it began to show some tertiary and real balsamic notes

But this wine really paired well with risotto. It cut the richness without overpowering and provided some solid fruit and tannin

There is both some power and elegance in this wine that works quite well — 4 months ago
