Always love the wines from LdH and this is no exception. Very nice at just over 20 years of age. Definitely secondary, no need to wait longer. Opened for a few hours before service but no decant. Red berry fruit, nice seamlessness, great acid and a long finish. Perfect pairing with roast chickens on Thanksgiving part 2. — 25 days ago
A wonderful and flavorful Spanish red! Bold and juicy! Enjoyed it with beef steaks. Flavors of blueberry, blackberry and dark cherry. — a day ago
Black current, dried black cherry and slight tobacco. Very light tannins.
Excellent with beef and stews. — 4 days ago
2020. Broke up the Christmas Eve seafood tradition and braised a beef roast instead. This big, vanilla oaky garnacha paired great! — 6 hours ago

2021 vintage. Phenomenal value. Medium heavy body. Spicy conversation amongst fruit-driven interplay. Substantial but not deal-breaking tannins. 12.10.25. — 14 days ago
