Pretty wild, like sherry, honey mead-y over fermented sweetness with orange citrus notes and a lighter finish. Fascinating!

TIL it tastes like sherry because it shares a technique, aging "under flor" which is a layer of yeast that forms in the top of the barrel where a bit of air is purposefully allowed in, that oxidative exposure is responsible for the intense umami, sherry-like flavors — 25 days ago

Great red wine for meat dishes. Bold but with smoothness to your umami. — 3 years ago

Shifting to a more feminine and elegant profile, after almost 20 years this still has a lot to offer. Complex fruity and umami notes of cherry, currants, pepper, spice, cured meat, tossed earth and truffle.
Great effort, year after year. — 3 months ago

Needs a bit of time to open up, but then… wow!!
So aromatic & enticing, dusty, red fruit galore, with some minty undergrowth,
On the palate this is plush, yet fresh, dusty, super fine tannins, juicy acidity, a hint of Balsamico umami.
Nice depth, great length. Delicious stuff!! — 2 years ago

Seductive, lychee, soapstone, white pepper. Harmonious, papaya, orange zest and salty minerality. Ultimately balanced. Umami in excelcis. 98+ — a year ago
