Sight: Completely opaque, blood red, slight tawny. On nose: fruit forward, tobacco. On mouth: very smooth, full bodied, was difficult to taste fruits but strong oak and earthy presence. Might not have been at correct temperature. — 8 days ago

Classic, full bodied and structured GR rioja. High acid, still some unresolved tannin. Food wine. — 19 days ago

This is an interesting blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Syrah from the Maipo Valley, an iconic region of Chile, a bountiful area that gather the perfect conditions for quality wines for terroir-driven wine seekers.
A wine that can be an acquired taste, showcasing a unique character and definitely a high levels of complexity. The wine has a striking deep, intense violet color, quite aromatic profile that pleases the nose with some dark chocolate, dark cherries and blueberries. On the palate, it provides a balanced acidity, chewing tannins with a very long-lingering finish. It pairs amazing with Manchego cheese, Braised short ribs and even lasagna. — a month ago

Primarily Tempranillo with some Graciano and Mazuelo blended in. Deep ruby color with a garnet rim. Intense black fruit aromas, leather and baking spices. Flavors of blackberry, black plum, baker’s chocolate, cinnamon and tobacco. Nice cedar, dill and vanilla notes on the long and lasting finish. Smooth and very well rounded tannins. Great balance of oak, acidity and alcohol. Full bodied. Fresh, well structured and complex. — a month ago

90% Tempranillo; 10% Graciano. Red fruited perfume, earthy with medium plus intensity. Palate at 21 years is developed, balanced and soft with fully integrated tannins. Medium weight with declining strength to its inner core. Not near as good on the 2nd night. This aged overnight and finishes a little sour. I was going to give it 94 points but will now give 90 points. — a month ago

See my photo on iPhone. Had with Marc’s folks in Leiden. So unique notes with Tempranillo although to me a bit too fruity on the front. But all loved, including W&S, and I agree pleasant finish with minimal tannins. — 9 days ago
