A spectacular wine, bursting from the glass and fully clearing out my slightly blocked nasal passages this weekend with gorgeous aromas of black fruit - deep but oh-so-fresh - along with kirsch liqueur, cranberry, a hint of mint and cedar. Truth be told, it has a character reminiscent of the Médoc, and I later read it has a small amount of Cabernet in the blend.
The palate is a show-stopper, sporting an array of very ripe but fresh blackcurrant, freshly squeezed cherries, and blueberry. It’s robust, but very harmonious with an abundance of acidity and tannin. It has an almost Port-like density, but it works. Sublime stuff. Why, oh why, did I only buy two bottles of this? It was £6 in bond, released by the winery last year under peculiar circumstances that I can’t remember. I should’ve bought a truck-load.

2018 vintage. 100% Tempranillo. Big and slightly rustic. 100% French Oak. It was a closeout and offered to me at the resto price of under $10. Can't take advantage of it for the list as it's too inexpensive but as a daily drinker/porch pounder, hell yes. Tempted to buy 10 cases of it for the staff to enjoy till October. 5.15.24. — 6 months ago
