Made me think of the Kinks: You really got me. Peaches, pomegranates and baked apple in the nose, showing some evolution. In the mouth…Holy! An amazingly creamy texture that fills the palate and lingers on thanks to a remarkable acidity. Great — 4 days ago
Notes of raspberry, flint, butter. Medium bodied, feel the sun and the acid, oak tannins, length, with blackberries and raspberries. I think this 2022 would have been in great in 2024. Love garnacha, but I feel I’d better drink it young, almost unoaked. — 24 days ago
Thought it a bit Bretty at first, yet it wasn’t. Fine cranberries, plums, liquorice, super fine tannins. Holy this is good — 4 days ago
A restrained and mineral nose, with notes of butter and white bones fruit. Ample body and decent acid. Well made, worth trying — 6 days ago
Expressive nose of dark cherries, blackberries, clove, strawberry, a hint of caramel, well integrated oak. In the mouth the tannins are still harsh, thinner Ribera (this is Soria, they filmed Dr Zhivago here). Drunk too young (the story of my life) — 23 days ago
A bit restrained at first, then opens to notes of butter, strawberries, raspberries, sour cherries and foliage . Medium bodied and bright acidity. Very enjoyable — a month ago
Expressive nose, red fruit, tea, a metallic, blood like, hint. A bit of volatile acidity. Fine texture and tannin. Darker in the mouth, liquorice, chocolate, the aftertaste is front palate driven, miss some more acidity. — 4 days ago
Expressive nose dominated by the toffee caramel notes of the French oak at this stage. Coffee. Felt some toasting there. Good fruit, tannins grippy, yet it is too early. Cherries, plums, for the price not too long. Good quality overall, should see in 5 years time. — 22 days ago
There was complexity beyond the sour cherries, with notes of incense and camomile. Restrained at first, structured, brought the feeling of a wet autumn morning in the forest. Very good, drunk too young — 25 days ago

Very dark, concentrated, lacking freshness to me. — 3 days ago
