2019 vintage. Decanted and tasted after one and two hours. Medium body. Pretty throughout with decently consistent push and focus. Another decade might bump this up to a 9.2 or 9.3. 1.9.26. — 5 months ago

9.1

Deep Ruby with aromas of jammy fruit, pepper and toasty cedar. On the palate flavors of black currant, jammy blackberry and pepper, vivid acidity with fine grainy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, pepper spice, oak and earthy character. Nice. — 10 months ago

9.1

Red and dark berries on the nose. Along with a dark tea and some earthiness.

On the palate tart fruit quickly giving way to spice. Then the tannins start to grip and introduce some savory notes.

Finish is a bit bitter but in a way that is inviting more food/drink.

Exceeded my expectations. — 3 years ago

Named after family’s original parcel, “Locartas” is a highly expressive ambassador for the Güímar valley’s distinctive volcanic sands. The blend comprises eight individual parcels throughout the valley, planted nearly entirely to Listán Blanco (with 2-3% Albillo Criollo). Vinified in stainless steel and aged for six months in 90% steel and 10% French oak. Medium lemon color, aromas of fruits and nutty notes. Flavors of ripe apple and apricot, medium+ finish ending with fruit and savory salinity character. — 2 years ago

This Rioja blend needs to be open a long time before consuming. Once it settles down, it is a great wine. So complex and rich. Definite fruity Grenache notes mix with deep Tempranillo. A great wine. — 4 years ago

9.2

The flavor profile is kind of like Cab Franc, with notes of dehydrated strawberry (like Special K red berries), mushroom, and a kiss of oak. Medium bodied. Wonderful acid, and still had some tannins. — 5 years ago

Forget my previous post on this bottle. Ageing gave it the surplus I was expecting from a Riserva. Absolutely terrific — 7 months ago
