Great intensity and complexity. Just ripened blue and red fruit, paprika, smoke, flowers. Fascinating character. Alcohol felt in nose. High acid and delicate tannins with pretty notes. Starting to mature. Balanced. Not much on the finish. Drink up!

2011 out of magnum. Very fresh with a long life ahead of it. A shame to drink it now. Ok...not really. Drink it anytime you can.

One of my favorites. Lots of richness and complexity but it doesn't lose the lightness and minerality that I love from this area. El pecado=the sin, roman slaves who worked this vineyard called it hell bc it was so steep, this is Raùl's homage to them. 2011 vintage

Dark fruit, heavy, but then smooth and light. Really great.
