For 12 vintage it's excellent. Calmed down pyrazines, little bit of vegetal green bell, elevated acidity. Nice lemon and melon flavors coming out on palate. Evidence of old used large oak.... — 10 years ago

Integrating nicely. Cherry & strawberry fruit on the nose & palate, ripe fruit but not overdone. No evidence of bricking or age that would suggest a start of decline. — 10 years ago

Albarino fan, and this 2012 vintage smells and tastes terrific. Bright yellow in color (evidence of oak aging?) and aromatic for days, peaches and yellow pears and minerality bound out of the glass. The palate is dry, with a touch of sweet peach lingering behind the underripe grapefruit and... chalky? Limestone? I'll go with limestone. Perfect not just for summer, but just when you want a crisp white. — 10 years ago

Realized that I'm posting an empty bottle to my delectable profile at 9 am. I swear this is not how my day began. Evidence, however, is stacked against me. Drank the whole bottle while watching The Tudors in my snuggie and being like 'Noooooooo!' That being said, this wine is drinkable and fun, allowing for great gesticulating. — 10 years ago

100% Syrah, with about 10% new oak. Ripe, evidence of new oak. A polished style. Oaky, quite a Ribera style. Creamy, oaky, vanilla. Uber appealing now, but not a little my haul style — 10 years ago
