Other bottlings tasted more layered, I’d like to think, but for the peni-ultimate wine equivalent of salted caramel, this is it. Caramel not sweet at all,& the more fluid body from Palamino. Perhaps a tad too salty- but who doesn’t like salted caramel? 375ml bottle. Kinda cool how many deals are to be had in the Barbadillo line up. — 9 months ago

Très bon mélangé avec la cuvée du Pèlerin! Goût sucré de jus de raisin — a year ago
Translucent pomegranate seed hue moving to garnet at the core and then water-white at the rim. Bright and lively on the nose, with lots of juicy, crunchy red fruit—unripe strawberry, tart raspberry, fresh cranberry, candied morello cherry, savory and herbal accents of red licorice, black tea, fennel, nutmeg, and sage. The palate is deceptively fruity at first—light and fresh, like a fun, tasty glou-glou wine—but gets wayyy more complex through the finish, evolving to subtly oxidative notes from extended barrel aging of hazelnut skin, dried cranberry, stewed rhubarb, kirsch, and cherry liqueur. Reminds me in a way of a dry version of a red VDN like Maury or Banyuls. Absolutely delicious, and unique; unlike anything I’ve tasted before. What I love most is the journey it goes on in each individual sip—the finish is wildly different from the attack. — 3 years ago
