Stunning Gran Reserva. In a league of it's own — 19 days ago
Dark ruby hue. Exquisite bouquet of fruit, with aromas of blueberry, pepper, plum, saline, vanilla. Plus body, with plus tannins and plus acid. Superbly balanced and elegant, with a lengthy, memorable finish. Tannins are already well-integrated, but this is something to drink on special occasions. 85% Cabernet Franc, 15% Malbec. — 11 days ago
A friend brought this wine to me, what a gift! A new favorite when it comes to red wine. The vibrant color was astonishing, and the red fruit notes were pleasant. Very rich & dry, yet smooth & balanced at the same time — 19 days ago
Stunning. Graphite, cherry leather, plum, fall leaves. Beautiful structure to this wine.

Excellent. Doit être bien aéré. Sec, bien généreux mais pas corsé. Un mélange de cèdre, prune, tabac, fruits rouges confits s, bien équilibré, aucune lourdeur. Les goûts sont plus doux que le Faustina V. Excellent avec un ragoût de veau marsala. SAQ $31 — 4 days ago
Not a typical Chianti IMO and not sure if it was doing a blind tastes test I would ever guess Chianti. That being said it’s a super drinkable wine that like most wines, gets better as it sits. Enjoyable at the first sip and even more so at the last! This might be a good introduction to Chianti for first-timers. — 5 days ago
18-. Very sophisticated wine. Smooth, deep, long. The epitome of serious Rioja. Not spectacular, but give me more. — a month ago

2015 vintage. A step up from the El Puntido offering from this producer price wise and hoo boy, is this delivering! Bigger tannins and more concentration throughout. Still a baby tho. Park it at a subterranean level in the cellar for a 15-20 spot. If you just gotta drink it in the next half-decade, you're best off decanting at lunchtime for dinnertime presentation. 5.1.24. — a day ago
