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.

Deep ruby wine. Notes of blackberry, black cassis, black cherry, blueberry, anise, fennel seed, dark chocolate, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, cedar, leather, and earth. Delicious, full-bodied, well-balanced. All of the structural elements are there. Vintage 2016. ABV 14.5%.

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.

Huge, lovely dark cherry notes but alcohol dominant and rather short, hard work
