Very dry… like English humour. But it finishes off with a nice earthy and nutty finish. If you like tannins and puckering your lips this is fantastic. — 3 years ago
always a stunning bottle of white Rioja from Baron de Ley. So much fun for a great price… — 8 days ago
this is my style! distinctively old world style in a new world setting. jammy, earthy, peppery but also very blended. reminds me of a southern italian wine from calabria. — 2 months ago
N: Salty dried butterscotch/caramel, Seashore, old boats, rot in the best of ways.
P: Sweet but no… upon entry, the impression is of something unctuous and sweet, for a bit of a second, then DRY. Yellow and gold flowers/melon,
heady at 16°. Great w baby artichokes and Parm and pan seared Branzino.

Really fine weirdo stuff. I’ve never splurged for the Quattro Palmas…but….

Delicious red wine! I’d get this again. — 12 days ago
Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — 20 days ago
Last had 4ish years ago. On cork pop was concerned this had not come together. But decanted for an hour and this became quite seamless and delicious. Definitely on the fuller bodied end of the spectrum. Dark red and some black fruit, nice body, excellent acid on the finish married to quite present but integrated tannins. Excellent with a roast chicken with mushrooms cooked in the chicken fat. — 9 months ago

Truly an amazing value for the quality. Lingering, complex finish. Bright red fruit and a cinnamon/cardamom undertone. — 2 days ago
