When something is sooooooo good, you go back and bring in your own bottle.

This is drinking beautifully, but would be even better in 5yrs.

This started with a caramel front. After a hour decant…it’s evenly balanced fruit, florals & spice/earth. It is now elegance refined with spice and roses from my backyard.

The best version of ripe; blackberries, black raspberries, both plums, strawberries, bright cherries, pomegranate & raspberries. Dry crushed rocks-top soil, cedar shavings, tobacco, old leather, mid berry cola, hints of graphite, charcoal, just a touch of moist herbs, some clove/nutmeg, a dab of olive tapenade, tree bark puree, the most insane red & pink roses, red florals, seriously perfect acidity, balance for months, mid tension, long length and elegance that most Tempranillo doesn’t give and long sets in dry soils.

Not your average Tempranillo with the right age. It is refined.

Amazing heavy, bold wine with steak and balsamic mushrooms. Perfect pair for the price. Tonya de door grapes are bold and flavorful red wine option. — a month ago

Nose: that vegetal note. Cocoa

Palate: vegetal a bit. Fruit in background. Good acidity. Maybe some plum. Cocoa. Some sweet fruit. Some spice.

Really nice wine
Cor: vermelho de média intensidade com lagrimas espessas.

Aromas: predominam os aromas de frutas negras blackberry, Mirtilo e amoras negras acompanhados dos aromas de pimentão, baunilha, tabacco, pimentão, e notas de violetas.

Paladar: corpo de médio pra mais, com sabor das frutas predominantes, confirmando os aromas encontrados no vinho. Taninos ainda jovems e bem presente com acidez se mostrando presente também, trazendo um bom equilíbrio e final persistente. — 5 years ago
