Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Blend of Cab Sauv & Monastrell with some Mourvèdre, Mataro & Garrut. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe red and black fruits with some floral and spice. On the palate flavors of sweet cherry and black raspberry with notes of cacao and currants with underlying citrus. Big firm tannins needing time to soften, good acidity balance, medium+ finish ending with fruit and vanilla oak. — 15 days ago

Heavy tobacco, smoke, and earthy tones on top of dark fruits. Opens up very dynamically because of its vintage. — 5 months ago

Tart pomegranate, crisp acidity with some minerality. Underappreciated. Incredible for the price. Great way to start off dinner at Vicia. — 5 years ago

Very different on the nose than the lips. Bouquet was almost floral while the taste was quite spicy. Turning out to be a favorite region for sure — 5 years ago
