Expressive nose of cranberries, blackberries and plums wrapped in cocoa. Oak present and fine with it. cinnamon notes. Clean, precise, medium full bodied, ample length, tannins finding their way. Too young now, beautiful, Ribera at its best in that price segment — 23 days ago
Great expressive red fruit, hints of a sunset in the farm. Taking the age well this 2011. Acidity is remarkable. — a month ago
I had a better memory of this one. The Syrah reminds me a bit of pinotage this time. Dark, with fine tannins and length. Just the fruit profile, the dark side of the Syrah, turns me off a bit. — 11 days ago
Ripe red fruit, dark notes, farm notes, plums, grass, a Swiss stable with a cow looking right at you as you sip. I liked it, sort of took me there and felt young. — a month ago
Wow! Young, this black prince riding a shiny polished tannin armor. Complex, layers of dark and red fruit, body and sweet tannins. A baby, as good as it gets — a month ago
Well, I didn’t pay, which makes a difference. What can I say? It tasted amazingly young, clean and complex, red fruit driven, sour cherries, forest, cranberries, on the ripe side, yet a remarkable acidity held it all together. I would drink that any time, anywhere with a wide smile on my face. — a month ago
Expressive nose of sour cherries with tertiary hints of leather. There is certain warmth, ripeness, a touch of salinity. I really enjoyed it, showing young this 2017, more than 7 years later — 17 days ago
Expressive nose of plums, black berries, Smokey hints of oak, bacon like. Ripe, balanced, fine tannins, very pleasant, has tipicity, it shows the Southern bank, Valladolid. — 24 days ago
Tipicity! You know it’s Bordeaux, and great, the moment you smell it. Yet this dark fruit, pencil lead one took me to the wrong bank. It felt fresh, and less dark. Blackberries and plums, for sure. A great wine. So young… — a month ago

The nose is Sancerres, not as exuberant as its New World versions. Gooseberries, lemon peel, apple, a hint of salinity. Good body, with a lovely acidity. — 11 days ago
