Dense, rich, ripe than other arpepe range. — 4 years ago
Nose is a bit ripe and tomatoey. Weird. Mint? Some dead leaves. New wood. Bleh. — 5 years ago
I was told this bottle is scarcely available as only about 1,000 cases produced each vintage and most of them stay in Spain.
Rich and ultra smooth, this somewhat reminds me of Clio. Coconut and Creme de Cassis overwhelmed initially but eventually settled down. Unapologetically hedonistic, it’s nevertheless delicious and possesses great substance. Would love to try one with some bottle age, but the first vintage release was 2014.

Modest Nebbiolo nose but impressive palate. Juicy and very chewable with ripe and balanced tannines. Sligro keeps on offering an outstanding qpr on this one! — 9 months ago
Excellent bouquet of dark fruit, dump earth. Good complexity and structure with fine tannins, and good aging potential. Lovely wine. — 5 years ago
Maybe too young to tell but I really enjoyed this. Although is has a somewhat muted nose, it was reminiscent of cling peaches and a dash of iodine. The flavors are unapologetic. Bold fruit, tomato leaf, cured meat and integrated tannin. Long finish — 3 months ago
Good value and exceeded expectations, $12 from Berkeley wine. — 4 years ago
Arecibo Message
With scallops, octopus, crab, and later short ribs at an Italian restaurant. The glue has subsided, not rubbery, some fruit is coming out. But not special.
21 minutes later: The candied bacon came out, and it compliments the short rib very well. — 17 days ago
