Absolutely gorgeous bouquet! Rose petals, lavender, sweet cherries, and a touch of vanilla. Supple entry on the palate with a smooth mouthfeel and lingering finish with lots of fruit and more vanilla. Beautifully structured wine.

Tempranillo with a touch of Garnacha. Amazing nose, sweet cherry vanilla. Then taste is complex with dark cherry and blackberry, vanilla, oak, toast, leather. Tannins stronger that I expected. It’s 2014 but tastes young. I will give it some time.

Feb 16th, 2020Wow! Perfect bbq wine. Big black and blue fruits with a touch of smoke. Very young and could use more aging and a more solid decant.
