Medium garnet core , quite narrow terracotta rim . Spiced earthy summer fruits, blackberry , cherry , blackcurrant , some herbal hints , vanilla , tobacco, grafite and iodine. On the palate this is quite fine boned , with refreshing acidity and medium ripe , rounded tannins , balanced alcohol . More herbal and dark fruited on the palate , blackcurrant , blackberry and cherry , spiced vanilla tinged dark cherry . Tobacco and grafite tinged medium length finish . Still drinking well , this is at peak now so drink over the next 2-3 years . — 20 days ago
Muted, understated nose of nectarines and pears, with a hint of caramel (which we suspect is age related).
Palate has the signature Bacigalupi presentation. Multi-layered with bright peach and fire-roasted fruits. Medium density and moderate sweetness make this a wonderful white burg clone.

It’s the Crianza I was drinking. Expressive nose of red and dark (cherries, plums and blackberries), well handled oak and good acid — 2 years ago
This is the Artazu Pasos de San Martin Navarra, a varietal Garnacha. A bit sleepy before it gets air, it gradually Benjamin Buttons and develops a terrifically pure nose of kirsch and raspberry ooze, along with crushed rock dust and sandalwood. In the mouth it’s got intense fruit, but is laser-focused and has excellent acids. Zero flab.
Just enough tannin to package it all. Really nice rendition of Grenache. — 3 years ago

Neus: aroma’s van rijp rood en zwart fruit zoals kersen en pruimen, gecombineerd met kruidige tonen van tijm, rozemarijn en subtiele hints van grafiet en mineralen, dit alles naast een merkbare geur van leer en herfstbos.
Smaak: Vol en complex, met sappig rood fruit en kruiden in balans met een verfijnde zuurgraad. De mineraliteit geeft diepte en elegantie, terwijl de zachte tannines zorgen voor een fluweelzachte structuur. Aards en kruidig in de afdronk met een lange, aanhoudende licht drogende finish.
Conclusie: Een verfijnde Garnacha met een perfecte balans tussen kracht en souplesse. — 14 days ago
