Bright this back from the AMA Bordeaux cruise. 2018 vs previous 2016 vintage. Bouquet of soft sour cherries! Dusty dry upfront of tannic dark sour cherries. Soft dusty finish. Nice old world flavors. — a year ago
My husband and I really enjoyed this bottle of red blend that we had never tried before, opened while making a Mediteranian pork dish to whet our appetites for dinner. Very smooth and rich, a nice blend of Cabernet and Merlot. Mild smokiness and berries. — 6 years ago
A new Rioja for me I grabbed in Spain from @gabymeetswine @vilaviniteca @ €105 & whilst nice I think it’s overpriced as you get just as good quality in many £40-£50 Rioja but that said it’s nice 😉 & quite unusually earthy & mineral laden 😁 leave 5 years 👍

👃 Soggy earth, gravel, minerals & pencil lead through muted dark cherry w/ a light smokey soaked oak tone, red currant, balsamic & herbs then the oak really pushed through on steroids after a couple of hours
👄 Med body of red & dark cherry in balsamic w/ cocoa & minerals galore w/ a touch of blackberry
🎯 Med+ dry tannic red & dark cherry/berry cocoa mineral earthy linger w/ an okay follow through

Спелая вишня, припущенная красная слива, красная смородина, ежевика, черника, ревень, мята, сухая земля, марганцовка, горькая корица. Среднее, подвижное тело с живой кислотностью и шелковой, сочной текстурой в рамке из ещё очень молодых, но отшлифованных танинов. Компактно и собранно, но не закрыто; с выраженной минеральностью; пока первично, но с хорошей глубиной и ощутимым потенциалом. Алкоголь даёт мягкое тепло, но не выжигает рецепторы; уравновешивающая его ментольная свежесть естественна и органична. Суровый, но верный баланс. Нужно ждать. — 8 years ago
Good stuff. Dry. Medium body. Tannic. Expensive?! Sure. But there are market factors at play in pricing. Pairs well with a variety food. — a year ago

Snygg, slank, fruktdriven och med stor fräschör samt perfekt integrerade tanniner. (Post)modern Rioja i sin renaste form. — 8 years ago
At last a wine that is not the remains of my Champagne weekend. It’s a smidge green and tannic. I wish I’d saved it for a few years. This is potent and interesting and I think I should have just given it at least three years. D’oh. Maybe a day or so of being open will help because the potential on this is huge given fruit, tannins and acid. — 8 years ago
