Sipping Fine Wine

9.6

Blend of Tempranillo with a little Mazuelo (Cariñena), each aged separately for 26 months (Temp-American / Mazuelo-French), pronounced bouquet of berry fruits with complex spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and plum flavors, well balanced, with pepper, cinnamon and slight tobacco. Long finish, fine tannins ending with fruit and an earthy mineral character. Outstanding, will still age! — 20 hours ago

A very nice experience drinking this. Might have been a touch better 5-10 years ago around the 15-20 year mark (and was great around ‘08-‘12) but despite a disintegrated cork is still a very nice wine with a beef dish. Have one more of the ‘01 and will have to open it within the next year. — 4 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of black cherry, espresso, black tea, dried herbs and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Drink now with patience but, to my palate, I think this will be better with a few more years in the cellar so the oak can better integrate. This is built to last well past 2041. — 21 days ago

Wonderful wine, not overly tannic but very accessible. Great for mid-week meal when one wants a good wine w/o breaking the bank or risking disappointment on an unknown — 21 days ago

Very easy gulping. Well balanced although I was expecting a bit more grip and verve. — 16 days ago

First timer I think on this. Obvious fan of the house. This was amazing. Perfect age. Blew through it without taking detailed notes. Definite tertiary notes at nearly a decade.

Bloody hell! Rich, powerful, complex, balanced and fresh.
Complex on the nose; chocolate, fruitcake, blackcurrant, tobacco.
Bright, fresh and well structured on the palate with load of rich red fruit.
