Very different - refreshing — 7 years ago
Awesome balance. Feels and tastes Bordeaux. Red fruits, dried dark fruits, tobacco, dried herbs. Quite interesting notes of mint. Medium high integrated acidity. Semi full bodied w/ hints of oak. But not distinctive, as it osften is in Cali wines.
Medium finish.

Great Tempranillo, worth using the Coravin. — 5 years ago
This is last of my 2010-2012 vertical tasting. Dark Ruby (not as dark as ‘10 & ‘11) of this Second Growth Bordeaux. A difficult year but Henri Lurton did a great job creating a wonderful wine. A complex nose of ripe dark fruits and tobacco notes. Palate displays blackberry & ripe cherry, gentle espresso and oak with soft tannins that is great to drink now with some aging potential.

Sleek but lacking in genuine character. — 8 years ago
I'm partial to Spanish wines and this is no exception. It can stand alone as a solid Tempranillo or it an be (as I discovered last night) the rich topping on a very refreshing mixed drink. — 10 years ago
Initially, this wine was off putting. There is oxidative notes and a sweatiness to it. Very complex wine with real balance. — 10 years ago
Deep ruby, garnet. Aroma is like red berries underpinned with subtle vanilla and herbs. Tastes like a full rounded wine. Elegant dark fruit with a long and lightly cinnamon spiced finish. Pair with lamb and ham — 11 years ago
Gorgeous flavors of coconut, dark fruit, wild hebs, mushroom and floral notes. Medium bodied, fresh acidity perfectly integrated with the intensity of the fruit. — 6 years ago

Incredible nose. Fruit forward — 7 years ago
Very fruit forward. Raspberry and mint with earthy herbals after. Medium tannin and fill bodied. Nose is heavy on Cabernet, almost like a Napa. Plums, graphite, and even salt on the nose? Very good. — 8 years ago
