Aspirational label with all the raised embossed stuff and the gold on black. But light weight like it’s not supposed to be aged. Well I’m doing 2012 in 2021. Interesting mix (Temp, Granacha, & Cariñena). Dark-ish. Slightly ruby. Smells like mashed tart berries of some sort. Rhubarb. Rhubarb and strawberry crisp filling before it’s cooked. Also something vegetal and green. Like cut shoots on a spring willow. Flavors are nice. Balanced, biting and juyceyyy! Lots of kinds of cherries and berries and some minty, bright streak. Lingers long with well made berry jam notes. This is a nice blend right out of the gran Españ a playbook. So damn juuuiiicy! — 5 years ago

The wine is a dark ruby color, but beginning to show some brick notes on the edge, a sign of its age. On the nose, big cherry aromas are met with violet and a smokey oak spice. The taste gives dark notes of cherry with earthy minerals and a nice grip, but the tannins are not too toothy. In fact, it’s fairly smooth. The finish is medium long.

The nose reveals; pink grapefruit, tangerine, strawberries, watermelon near the rind, hints of rhubarb, blood orange, sea spray, mild volcanic minerals, chalk, light fruit roll-ups, fruit blossoms and pink roses.

The body is thick, gluey and shows some frizzante. It’s fresh, lively and easy to drink. Especially, outstanding on a warm day. Candied fruit of; pink grapefruit, tangerine, strawberries, watermelon near the rind, hints of rhubarb & blood orange. Some white spice with a shade of heat, a herbal presence, sea spray, mild volcanic minerals, chalk, light fruit roll-ups, fruit blossoms and pink roses. The acidy is bright and near perfect. The finish is; rich, ripe, lush, balanced fruit & earth and is delicious.

Fruity, fairly sweet. I exclaimed "Sweet mother of god" after my first sip, it's delicious. Bought it after a dream with Ignacio and Dad and Ignacio asked for a giant glass of the Puglio wine (region in the heel of Italy) — 10 years ago

Right up there with the Equipo Navazos La Bota wines! Salted caramel, chamomile, almonds and yeast. This manzanilla pasada is apart of a 3 barrel bottling located in the sacrista of the bodega. Ignacio Hidalgo first bottled this 2011 but has no idea the age of the wine itself. — 11 years ago
