Just a baby. Extremely tight when first opened. 45 min later lent to a fragrant aroma out of the glass. Higher acidity but luscious mouth feel. Tannins not integrating yet. Never unhappy to have this but 10+ years would go a long way — 9 days ago

Have bought a lot of this off Wtso. It has always been very good but tonite another level. Awesome. Great RBD. Very balanced dark fruit with cherry, nice chalkiness. Long lasting. Med to full. Delicious. Drink the 4 left over next 1-2 years — 2 days ago

Amazing nose with some oak, tobacco, earth, herbs, leather, cedarwood/vanilla, smoked bacon, milkchocolate and a lot of fruit. Palate of sweet blackberries, figs, plumps, licorice, chocolate and nice bitterness. Great long aftertaste with superb acids. I really liked this one! — 17 days ago

Wow so smooooth. It’s pretty sweet got some tangibles when you swallow in the tip of my tongue. It’s smoky and thick and a juicy wine. Grace and Kathy and butcheron cheese and burritos — 3 days ago

July 4th Friday was a total blowout! Killer bottles one after another. Here are just a few of the bottles we all enjoyed!

I really love older Spanish reds and this was doing quite well. Picked up zero American oak notes on the nose...it was more herbal with oregano and cherry pipe tobacco. However, the palate was very fresh with black cherries, old rhubarb tart and hint of coconut/American oak at the finish. — 22 days ago

Vivid orange-pink. Assertive raspberry, cherry and candied rose scents reveal a hint of smokiness. Shows good depth to the juicy red fruit flavors, which turn deeper and spicier with aeration. The floral note repeats on a nicely persistent finish that shows good clarity and tangy cut. Made via direct pressing and in all stainless steel. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2019) — 4 days ago

Deep, elegant Tempranillo-based blend with some Mencía, Garnacha, Mazuelo and other yet unidentified indigenous varieties from recently recuperated old vineyards grown at elevations of over 1,000m within the Sabinares Natural Park in Arlanza -a small and relatively unknown appellation halfway between Ribera del Duero and Rioja. Savory, dusty, pine needles and balsamic notes, great acidity. Only 2742 bottles were filled in 2013. — 10 days ago

Pleasant surprise and a very good recommendation by the Sommelier at a reasonable QPR. Excellent silky texture, deep cherry fruit, and subtle hints of vanilla and oak; maybe even a little coconut. Medium plus finish. — 10 days ago
