Aged for 10 months on oak, 29% new, deep Ruby with aromas of sweet berry fruit and toasty oak notes. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors with smoky oak notes adding in tea, spice and cacao notes. Fine soft tannins, lingering ending with a big mineral spice finish. Nice! — 7 years ago

Second time I’ve had Cantemerle, this time the 2004. I think this was a great choice and I found this one a bit more refined and mature than the 05 which is probably a few years from fully settling down. This one has plenty of cassis, vanilla and wood on the nose. The palate is smooth with a medium finish that is very nicely balanced. I would describe this as a masculine wine, with leather, tobacco and ash blending with the fruit, it is not floral or overly delicate. Probably approaching it’s peak but visually no real significant signs of ageing. Worth a try if you have the chance. — 5 years ago

The similarities between Nerello Mascalese are abundant. Listán Negro smells of ash and rocks, tastes of red fruit, and os utterly appealing. Volcanic wines, all day long y’all — 7 years ago

Sour cherry, leather, soil, and herbs. Beautiful volcanic ash element to the minerality. Sturdy tannins and high acid. Needed air to get going but really nice once it did. Great structure. — 5 years ago
