At this stage quite a tough wine to enjoy, even after a solid decant. Everything’s a little out of kilter at the moment, with the oak dominating it all. 91 points for the wine’s potential, as I’m sure age will do it plenty of favours. But still, not a patch on the fabulous 2015.

Love it. Light on the palate. Good length. Smokey fruit. Tannins that pull it all together.

Mmm… smells and tastes of Spain. Prominent oak and cedar with dark fruits and spice. Round and full mouthfeel with a smooth finish. Drink fast - started losing a bit of smoothness towards the end of the bottle.

Fantastic wine with smooth oaky undercurrents. Initial fruit forward with the woody oak middle and jammy finish. More fruit forward than vina tondonia reserve albeit younger.

A cherry forward red with a licorice nose. A mouthful of red fruit, hints of raspberry and cranberry. A light red that can be enjoyed on its own or with light meat, spicy food and cheeses. An enjoyable red.

First try of the 2016. Rich and powerful. New world in style but with enough finesses and freshness.
Will pick up more.

Happy anniversary to us! This wine is phenomenal. I can’t even imagine where this goes in 5, 10, or 20 years.
