9/29/22 Deep vertical of NV Cabernets @ BV One of the wines of the tasting. Dark plums, cassis. Wow. Very evolved — 3 years ago
Pale yellow.
Grapefruit, lemon, pear, ginger, green herbs, rockdust and wonderful hints of orangeblossom!
Crystalline, bright, elegant. Beautiful ‘feinherb’-balance: just a hint of sweetness in the opening, meets racy acidity, and a clean dry finish.
Lovely wine, good quality, very quaffable at 10% ABV. — 25 days ago
The 2016 showed nice ripe fruits and falls into style of the other 2016’s I have tasted. Not as complex as the other vintages but a nice elegant wine.

The 12 drinks really well with time to go but hard to imagine it gets a lot better, the 17 was uninspiring with muted nose and subdued taste, the 19 has good potential in 6-9 years. Note: Pours were a little light for the price, so buyer beware! — 2 years ago
A fantastic tempranillo that is the perfect blend of fruit forward with a smooth transition to a nice earthy finish. — a month ago
Strong aromas, black berries, oak, tobacco, leather, bold Bordeaux — 3 months ago
More dark golden color than other roses. Mild strawberry upfront. A thick velvet taste on the tongue then a mild mild strawberry citrus finish. — 2 years ago
