Oak monster

Oak pours through at end. Spicy. Cloves. Black currants. Paired with mushrooms, Tempered puff pastry, sautéed onions and apple jam.

A Happy Birthday Jeroboam! Too bad it's over the hill...

Meaty, spicy and earthy nose, some maturing red berry tones and dried thyme. Complex, velvety, meaty and animal, youthful acidity, ripe tannins and well integrated spicy oak tones. Modern and intensive.90p

Nice modern Rioja Style. Good acidity, nice texture, lots of fruit, herbs, spice, Penicillin lead and fine oak. Not the 94 Parker Points but really good.

2010 vintage, drank 13/7/2021.
Extremely dark red on the core, purple rim. On the nose, complex notes of oak and tannins, spices, some herbs and berries. Very smooth intake, light tannins suddenly turning into spices and blackcurrant. An exceptional wine.

Very good wine , still fruity and a bit woody , lovely with a lamb roast.

Rich, blackberry, blueberry, smooth. Peak aged. Good stuff. Ate with dad’s venison stew (Alex’s first deer - doe).

Beautiful!!!

16.5+/20 (90+/100) Красивый «дубовый» аромат с нотами шоколада, ванили, черничного варенья и чернослива. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными вяжущими танинами. Всё-ещё молодо выглядит, есть потенциал. (06.09.18)
