Wow what a good wine!! A blend of 86% Tinta del País/Tempranillo (from old vineyards), 12% Garnacha and 2% other grapes, including whites. Medium Ruby with aromas of ripe fresh fruits, herb and complex spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with vanilla oak and cacao. Good balance, fine elegant tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and earthy character. Very nice! — 10 days ago

The 2017 Termes is a lush, inviting wine that’s packed with concentrated, sharply defined dark fruit and floral character. Spice and pipe tobacco nuances emerge with air and carry through a very long, gently tannic and perfumed finish. $22.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, January 2021) — 14 days ago

Rustic, old world red. The nose shows leather, crushed cranberry, eucalyptus, cigar box, and menthol. The palate is dry with tobacco, leather, dried cranberry, cherry reduction, new oak, sage, and plum. Medium tannins, medium minus alcohol, and medium plus acid. Despite its age, it needs decanting or at least sitting in the glass for a while. Tart, dry, and well balanced. This is a fantastic value wine. — 3 days ago

A bit fleshier than previous vintages. The move to less new oak and less time in oak seems focus the wines here a bit, but the house style of nearly opulent dark fruit remains. — 17 days ago

One of my wines of the flight in a broad tasting of #Bierzo wines. This wine offers perfume, elegance ans structure that points to improvement with bottle age. — 17 days ago
