Deep, lurid ruby. Powerful, smoke-accented aromas of black currant, cherry liqueur, vanilla and candied licorice; a suave floral nuance builds in the glass. Alluringly sweet and broad on the palate, offering deeply concentrated black and blue fruit, mocha and floral pastille flavors and a touch of spicecake. Shows excellent delineation and solid punch on an impressively long, dark berry-driven finish framed by slow-building, harmonious tannins. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2021)

Rich and intense, red currant, black cherries, violets, lavender hints of savory herbs with supple tannins. A beast of a Tempranillo.

Highly extracted. Tar-like. Smoke, bramble, Dry earth, aggressive tannin. Finish sucks the moisture off of the tongue. Not my first choice stylistically, but certainly a unique wine made at a high level.

Lovely nose of Intense dark red berries and rose petals. Still a little young. Dark red berries with notes of toasted vanilla and truffles.

From a 4.78 ha plot, from ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines, surprisingly elegant, expected it to be a monster, somewhat similar to right bank Bordeaux from that very year. Complex aromas of cassis, tobacco, menthol, stout and pepper. Deep and concentrated, gravelly tannins with a long sweet finish. 14.5%
