Stunning nose. Ripe and kinky. Deep. Lemon cake. Good acidity and freshness and very silky. Great palate presence. Sweet oak that works. High extract. Wood shavings on the nose as well from a woodshop. Silly and sweet. — a month ago

Deep black fruits aromas, a rich body but some definite tannins, the black fruit flavors come through with notes of licorice and violet. A good wine as the temperatures start to fall. — 8 months ago

Surprisingly, bright with red fruits, anise, wild herbs on the nose. Initial fruit forward, quickly melds into new leather, stewed red/black fruit with a chewiness. Dry, medium plus alcohol, medium plus bodied, silky tannins, medium acidity. Nice finish. It can age longer, but probably won't increase in enjoyability. For the price point, it's a 👍 but not overwhelming so.

I’ve drunk a bunch of 14’s from all over Rioja and it’s not a flashy/big/concentrated vintage, but man if you like understated, balanced, elegant wines, this hits the mark. — a month ago

Medium garnet core , quite narrow terracotta rim . Spiced earthy summer fruits, blackberry , cherry , blackcurrant , some herbal hints , vanilla , tobacco, grafite and iodine. On the palate this is quite fine boned , with refreshing acidity and medium ripe , rounded tannins , balanced alcohol . More herbal and dark fruited on the palate , blackcurrant , blackberry and cherry , spiced vanilla tinged dark cherry . Tobacco and grafite tinged medium length finish . Still drinking well , this is at peak now so drink over the next 2-3 years . — 7 months ago

2016 The Third Twin - Nuestra Señora Del Tercer Gemelo Mourvedre. Not the Graciano. A beast of a wine. Tons of complexity with an exaggerated amount of life yet remains silky and seamless. Layer upon layer of flavors and aromas evolving with more air. Exciting to see where this will go in the next 7-15 years. Love this. Will definitely get better with time but hard to understand how. — 5 years ago
