The 2012 is a blend of 40% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% each Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, all from the Gualtallary vineyard.

Deep layers of blackberry, plum, fig, and cassis, framed by notes of violets, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Hint of green olive as well. Big frame but gentle and warm on the palate. Silky tannins. Touch of graphite on the long finish. This is at its peak but should continue to drink well for the next 3-5 years. — 10 months ago

By far the best bonarda I've tasted. So smooth and silky in texture. It was jammy without being syrupy or artificial-tasting. Loads of dark fruit on the nose and palate, perhaps a hint of spice. Extremely enjoyable. Would definitely buy again. 100% Bonarda. 8/11/22. — 4 years ago

Wow! On the nose, dark plums and black cherries, fresh dark liquorice.
On the palate. A first phase of dark plums, black cherries and black berries. Fairly quickly the dark fruit notes are cut through with black liquorice, secondary ripple effects of vegetation and hints of fresh mint. The final third engulfs the medley of flavours laced with fine leather. Medium tannin percolates around, staying for a final bow. Decanted 1hr and 45 min. Served with filet mignon with melted blue cheese, roasted vegetable medley sprinkled with goat’ cheese (sweet potatoes, beets, carrots), asparagus and green pea basil/mint puree (all prepared at home). — 5 years ago

Höghöjds-cab franc. Elegant och attraktiv. Fantastisk bra vikt, en riktig-wow känsla. Fyllig men riktig dansant. Mörka bär med mycket sekundära komplexa smaker. Lakrits, lagerblad, tapenade, kaffebönor. Fint drickfönster nu. — 4 years ago

A tad bit effervescent. Absolutely divine. Complex for a white which makes it a more interesting pairing for a range of food. — 4 years ago
