The ‘19 of this wine is quite good. Vibrant dark ruby color. The nose seems quite youthful, giving off scents of spiced, smoky minerality along with breast, yeasty notes. There also crisp mountain berry, cherry fruit. A big heck of fruit initially, but in a tight, zingy frame that has surprisingly crisp acids and a skein of tightly wound, very fine-grained tannins. The mouthfeel almost reminds me of a young Saint-Joseph from the Northern Rhone, though the flavors are different. Distinctive! — 10 months ago

On s’en va là l’automne prochain! C’est un 2018, belle maturité- fruits murs et belle longueur d’un vin corsé et complexe. — 2 years ago

Fruit forward--cherries and red plum, faint spicines or note of cacao. Silky palate, long finish.

Full bodied, but a total fruit bomb. Smooth, rich and slightly velvety. Lots of tannins, finishes bolder. — a year ago

This wine is an example that price has nothing to do with quality. Lots of fruity sweetness balanced with acidity, and with vanilla and tobacco. — 3 years ago

" 30 months in Oak barrels adds a vanilla flavor to the beautiful ripe fruit in this structured wine." Made from the Noble tempranillo grapes, it's a wine for special moments. " — 4 years ago

On the nose a stable, dark fruit, wet leaves, licorice. A big wine in other words, this Super Tuscan blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 15% Alicante, 10% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc. On the palate there is softness, round, dark fruit, some tobacco. A lively wine with a bite. Great surprise. — 5 years ago
