This is pretty much unbeatable for the money. 90+year old vines. Stupid value for a correct varietal representation. Really impressed.

Old Spanish style wine. Ok, for the price, but not great.

First tasted this wine in 2007 when buying for Jean-Georges. What was easy+carefree has become markedly more sophisticated. Has been exciting to follow!

New vintage is showing very well. Black cherry, graphite, eucalyptus and grippy tannins.

Деликатный нос- вишнёвая кора, вишневый лист, дымок, кедровые орехи, сливки и мускус (немного).
На вкус гладенькое, ещё не вполне утратившее молодость, между средним и лёгким, но ни разу не жидкое. Без "вау", но приятная вещь. (Сейчас будет крамола: категорически не понимаю, чем оно лучше удачных образцов авторского фанагорского, например)

Big black fruit with medium + tannins. A great wine that will not break the bank! I believe I aid $10.99 for this 2013.
