Strawberry, cherry along with almond, licorice and another vegetal thing I just can't place. The palate is very well balanced with a monster of an acid backbone, some red fruit shining all along, good width with some nice grippy, vivid mouthfeel, very lively, pointy tannins that kick up a very long finish with fruit and almond. We paired it with a splendid 45 days matured beef spare rib of bœuf de Galice on the barbecue. A pairing made in heaven.

2013. A great accompaniment to steaks. Hints of tobacco and leather with dried fruits.

Boozy. Fine acidity. Light. A bit boring.

Great wine took about 3 hours to fully open. Bright cherry and tar with thick tannins. Despite being a strong wine this can still be enjoyed now but 5+ years and this wine will be drinking gracefully.

Just an excellent and balanced red with beautiful blend of fruit and tannins. Not a bad value at World Market! :)

Delicious, well rounded with just a touch of acidity, but quite smooth. Would drink this again!!
