Nice wine, but tastes older than it is. Wine is passing prime so I'd drink sooner rather than later.

Garnet color with orange highlights. 100% Tempranillo. The tertiary notes and flavors are in the forefront. Lovely aromas of leather, dried rose petals, smoke and spices. Pallet features red fruit, cocoa and coffee. Extremely well balanced with smooth tannins and a very long finish. Quite austere. The aging has certainly benefited this wine.

Delicious balanced black currants and light spice, good tannins that don’t linger or overwhelm. Very nice.

Lots of pepper and spice with black fruit. Recommend some time to breath.

16.5/20 (89/100) В аромате вина преобладают тона кофе, дополненные нотами черники и черемухи. Умеренная кислотность и не слишком интенсивные, но вяжущие танины. Кофейно-ягодное во вкусе. Молодое вино, требующее гастрономического сопровождения.

Almost 9 years old and doesn't seem like. Very fresh. Good balance.
