The last of these 12's. Was getting nervous it could be close to post peak but.....wow! Intense, balanced, complex acidity, oak, fruit. A wine that makes you consider qualities of Burg and Rhone tho this btl perhaps not AS MUCH as the last. Very old world in nature. Could hv waited but very happy to hv enjoyed it and shared.

Great nose, secondary aromas. Nice earth, mushrooms, leather, a little bit of cedar. On the palette is very well balanced with dry cherry, cranberry aromas. It is at a perfect age. Enjoy now. — 12 years ago

I am really enjoying this cab blend. So well balanced with about 1/2 cab, 30% garnacha and the balance samso. So nice to be able to enjoy the harmony with a reasonable 14.5% alcohol level. Don’t get me wrong, I like massive cabs too but not every time I pop a cork. My sincere appreciation to Will Burkholder for introducing this Spanish beauty to me!! — 8 years ago
Smell like a worn leather jacket. Funky, earthy, black cherry, tobacco, super fine tannin. Excellent and dispels any association with classic Cali cab. Some licorice and morels. — 10 years ago

89/100. Сложное вино, медленно раскрывается, декантировать пару часов. В аромате лес, земля, дым. Строго, интересно, интеллектуально. — 11 years ago
Rich texture on the palate. Baking spice, tropical fruit and a long finish. — 11 years ago
Mineral and acid very proper — 12 years ago
