Much more enjoyable than the 2016. Deep ruby color. Black pepper, tar and late-season lilac on the nose. Medium-body but layered flavor with granite, vanilla, crushed red pepper and old boot leather...kind of a salty finish. I don’t remember how much I paid for this, but whatever it was, I would have paid more. Fantastic!

Dec 26th, 2019Very nicely aromatic with some forest berries and spice. Wish it had similarly big flavor. A little spicier as it opened up, tannins much milder than a typical Teran. It won’t upstage anything, but it’s perfectly drinkable.

Sep 1st, 2019Good spicy and complex with some tannins. Good length. Dark fruit. Also drank 2012 vintage which is similar. Possibly not so tannic.
