Can see the enhanced spice and integration with this Riserva bottling. One of the more gentle palate “vineyards” from PdB when compared to Rabaja or Mocungatta.

Cherry liqueur nose, very pretty if a little one-note at the moment. Attack is deceptively sweet, but soon turns into electric kool aid acid, tempered by a lovely crystalline texture. Then some green medicinal herbs join in through the long fuzzy-tannic finish. Ripe but oh so fresh, concentrated but feather light, just intense enough... good things to come.

More eucalyptus and licorice than Asili 2014 and Pora 2014. Orange peel, lavender, rosemary, dried earl grey tea leaves. High/harsh acidity, elevated tannins - medium granularity in terms of texture, medium+ body. Medium+ finish. Clay and limestone.

As always a killer wine in its leaque, most of the times very good and sometimes exceptional 😋

This is wonderful. More tannins, savory herbs, cigar box, tart cherries, blood orange, amazing with food.

A little hazelnut on the nose at the end. Lighter body and good acidity but with a little spice and earthiness at end.
