The 2012 - still just a baby -- last taste is on the third night after opening. Rich, caramel/resin under fresh yellow apple, lemon, with stones and minerals on the lingering finish. Still vibrant after all that time open. Continues to amaze and gratify. — 10 years ago

A great tasting today - the 1983 is rich, savoury and seamless. Aging distills these wines into their essential core. — 10 years ago

Ruby, just showing some garnet on rim, blackberry and black currant, dried earth, shoe polish, hint of leather, but still fresh and vibrant. Holding well! — 10 years ago

Crisp, with some richness on the palate - white flowers, lemons, yellow apple, peach and toast. Several notches above basic Cava, very good wine and fine value. — 10 years ago
