Vanilla and blueberries on the nose. Bright, cherries and plums. Baking spices on the finish with a little bit of cedar. — 2 months ago
Deep Ruby color with aromas of fruit and earthy forest floor and woodsy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with cedar, tobacco, leather and smoky notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco, toasty cedar and earthy mineral character. Nice will continue to age! — 7 months ago
Dark ruby with the rim starting to lighten the nose is very black cherry. The alcohol is still present, but it’s gotten better during dinner showing smooth tannins and good fruit. — 5 months ago
Dark forest fruit, leather, dark chocolate, wild cherry. Integrated tannins and a long length. — 8 months ago
Aged underwater. Possibly a gimmick, but a dry, balanced, and very interesting Basque wine. — a year ago
