Very reserved wine compared to my previous two bottles. Might need a decent decant or more age. Very young wine. Light gold color. Minerality dominates the nose and palate. Medium minus depth and finish. — 13 hours ago

Solid as always. Higher alcohol and wood than other bottles. Might need a decant as I PnP’d. Started off great with dark cherries and depth, but became astringent over time. — a day ago

Very light gold color. Peach with some stone fruits on the nose. Same on the palate with white flowers and surprisingly high acid. Acid fades with open bottle time. Could be mistaken for a Riesling. Medium depth with a short, perfume finish.

Good food wine @ our favorite wine bar in London!

PnP. Modestly dark purple color. Would never guess Spain from the nose and palate. This is straight up Rhone! Dark cherries, meaty/earthy, some tobacco, and subtle herbs. Nice depth and finish. Solid restaurant list value. — 3 days ago
