N: I smell both American and French barrels, dark fruits, plums, Maraschino Cherries,wood spice,
Like it wants to be old. Tobacco, sweeter tarry notes.
P: Nice acidity and tannins in balance, med-full on the palate, black cherry, baking spice, fills the mouth.
Like an old/new word cross. Pretty well done. Great qpr in PA. at $12.99. A bargain.
I splashed it out for a half hour.
If they got rid of the hype sticker, I’d probably think higher of it. — 3 years ago
Got an A- from James Suckling. I hope we have a similar grading curve. Color is lovely. Like blood in the veins. Smells nice. Rosewater, cherry juice and fresh cut firewood. Flavors are luscious and juicy with just a hint of smoke and oak. Classic Rioja. Balanced and deluscious. I’d agree James. 90 or even 91% for this pupil. — 5 years ago

Back label on this 2021 bottling identifies Saint Laurent as the varietal and claims "the wine is part of the project 'Primi Vini' for grapes that ripen early, enabling the wine to be put on the market earlier. I don't know if this means it is a Nouveau style/carbonic maceration or just refers to the precociousness of the variety.
Inky purple. Boisterously fruity nose with a crushable balance that invites another sip. YUM. — a year ago
