A very dry nose for one of the wines brought over from my time in Malaga. The nose interspersed with notes of cumquat, yellow apricot, sea air, muscat and wet stones. Light to medium bodied and VERY dry, with lots of minerality, super tart acidity like key lime, Buddha’s hand or zine other obscure yellow citrus. The palate is super dry, lots of zest, and a good representation of place, but not as much depth as I would have liked. — a day ago

2020 vintage. Unspectacular but solid and keeps coming like the antagonist in a horror movie. Can't stop. Won't stop. Medium/medium-heavy body. Fruit and tannin balance currently. Under $20 USD resto cost. 8.12.26. — 3 months ago

This is the best bottle of wine I’ve had from my cellar in years. Nearly perfect. Bought it in 2008 for $30 and one of my great finds. Good lord it was just divine. I’m sure there have been better vintages but I can’t imagine it. — 7 months ago

💯 for the privilige and the scarcity. Incomparable nose of chocolate figs, dates and raisins. Port/sherry notes! On the palate this is very lively, yet quite acidic.
To me, this is more intriguing and interesting than tasty… — a month ago

The nose is immediately captivating with lush crème de cassis and dark cherries, intertwined with the more reserved, classic aromas of sweet tobacco, leather, and dried herbs, and a whisper of coconut. The palate is full-bodied and intense with powerful core of dark fruits reined in by a backbone of crisp acidity and silky tannins. The sweet oak spices and dark berries on the long finish is of particular satisfying.

It will continue to evolve and reward cellaring for another decade, if not longer. — 2 months ago

Bought with a discount at about 13 USD in equivalent Polish Złoty. It's a steal! The nose is very inviting with blackberry, black cherry, bacon, soy sauce, oak, a bit of tobacco too. What a nose ! The palate is very well made, with a great acid drive, some width, some matter, some nice blackberry and black cherry notes, some oily, a tiny bit thicker mouthfeel, some gentle, slightly drying tannins kick off in the rear, delivering a sandy layer over a very long, fruity, meaty, savoury finish that goes on for a very long while. This punches way above its price tag. Great stuff and even better than the 2020 I had some months ago. — 7 months ago

Picked up 8 cases. At 5.85 CAD a great bargain for a nice rose. A lovely Grenache for the Summer, but full flavoured enough to enjoy year round. A great second bottle after a nice Chardonnay with Thanksgiving turkey. — 5 years ago

45+ minute decant. Red color with some brightness. Stewed fruit and rhubarb dominate the nose. Juicy wine on the palate but fairly reserved. Medium minus depth and finish. Needed something to pair with Italian Sausages and this was fine. — 2 months ago

Great choice with a good steak. Starts off a bit dry but opens up nicely with some air. A bit musty with ripe cherries, and a hint of dark chocolate. — 5 years ago
