Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Blend of 85% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha, Graciano & Mazuelo, aged for 18 months in French and American oak (previously 24 months), deep Ruby color with aromas of complex fruit, spice, oak and forest floor. On the palate flavors of dark berries, licorice and cacao with toasty oak and herbs. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and earthy notes. Drinking well now!! — a day ago

Early picking for the ‘17 vintage, and it shows with fresh acidity lifting the well extracted black fruits. Still quite primary at year 7.
Very good value for a Gran Reserva. — 2 months ago

From the collection of my late friend WilD (26-08-2023) 😢
Made from 50% Garnacha and 50% Cariñena from 50+ years old vines!
Great nose of ripe blackberries, plum, smoky, herbs from the hills of Poboleda, espresso and Llicorella!
On the palate again these great black fruit flavors, truffle, a juicy acidity, very smooth tannins, and a long aftertaste. Great job Salvador!!! 95 DSP — a month ago
