Aug 2nd, 2015Nice wine. Not over the top, but showing some sour cherry notes that clash a little with the very creamy texture. Not as good as I recalled

Feb 21st, 2015Vino muy correcto. Con nueve años, presenta un color evolucionado, limpido y brillante en vista. En nariz notas a higos secos, madera y especias. En boca muy agradable, con cuerpo , equilibrado y de persistencia media.
Muy recomendable
