Bought at a good wine retailer in Barcelona. Made from 100% Carignan grapes from 80 year old vines and vinified in concrete tanks - zero oak influence. I made no notes but I do remember enjoying it as a great food wine and highly savoury. Drank this last week in Spain. — 3 years ago
Na verdade é um pinotage. A cor já não é tão vibrante e já puxando para uma tonalidade de terra. Tem um bom corpo na taça. Um vinho bem aromático, lembra flores e frutas. O sabor é bem diferente, agradável, com bom rastro. Sente-se o álcool mais na garganta do que na boca, e não parece tão denso. — 4 years ago
Terrific rose of pinot noir from Maggie Harrison of Antica Terra. This is not your garden-variety rose: serious skin contact time coupled with her incredible wine-making abilities has produced a really substantive wine. Reminds me a bit of Manfred’s SQN roses (not surprising, I guess, since Maggie worked with Manfred for I believe a decade or so before striking out on her own with what I think is the best winery in the Willamette Valley). Do yourself a favor and try to snag some of this. Terrific juice. — 4 years ago
Esse vinho já merecia algum destaque por ser homenagem à bravura e nobreza do cavalo dos donos, Arlequim, que descansa em seus campos e se confunde com a força e pureza da Terra que o viu nascer, viver e agora o acolhe pela eternidade.
Todavia, este vinho faz-se presente também por seu bom custo-benefício, que traz o melhor do encontro das Cordilheira dos Andes com o Oceano Pacífico. — 2 years ago

Opened yesterday and it was too oaky and all over the place. 24 hours later it's settled and the wine is presenting itself in a much better way. It's even not bad at all! The nose shows blackberry, coconut, vanilla, oak, coffee, tar. The palate is very rounded with blackberry, cocoa and coffee notes, some width and almost a lactic touch. The tannins are well integrated now and leave a silky layer over the finish that goes on for a reasonable time. It's reminiscent of a nice Bordeaux except for that coconut scent on the nose. For about 11 USD in a supermarket nearby it's a steal! — a month ago
