Quite yellow gold colour , wide light lemon rim. Shows quite a lot of development . Quite toasty with roasted nuts , candied citrus peel , candle wax , ginger , saffron, curry powder, sea breeze. On the palate this is structured and quite full bodied with the nutty character , ginger and candied lemon rind , great intensity and grip , salty , balanced acidity and very long and balanced on the finish . Drinking well now but needs time to open , will probably continue at this high level for another 5-10 years and maybe even improve further — a month ago

Zolecki’s Memorial Day 2025 — 2 months ago
Dense and dark, almost black colors. Looks viscous when I swirl. Lots of vanilla on the nose, but some cedar and dark fruit underneath. Has some spice, like clove and dill, but also perfume, like rose. Very intense and rich juice, heavy acidity and powerful structure with medium+ tannins. Manly wine. — 5 months ago
Sight: Completely opaque, blood red, slight tawny. On nose: fruit forward, tobacco. On mouth: very smooth, full bodied, was difficult to taste fruits but strong oak and earthy presence. Might not have been at correct temperature. — 3 months ago
On the lower end of Gran Riojas I’ve had especially for a 2014. Still good. — 23 days ago
Wow! 2018 and still young. Beautiful structure; could age for another 20 years. Blue fruits with a light freshness all derived from a superb structure with firm acidity which allows the fruit to come forward and express itself. — 2 months ago

Classic full body, loads of dark fruit, drank very well upon opening and lasted a few days in fridge as well. Amazing value for price. — a month ago
Excellent attack with an earthy and red fruit flavor and nose, but the finish was short and astringent. — a month ago
