Drank this in November 2020, and perhaps it was a little late but it performed well

Nose is slightly peaty but a bit weak. Flavour is like dried sour cherry. I bit of a single note. It’s definitely going downhill.

Last bottle, and what a delightful farewell ! Since I had this one with a friend, I didn't drink it with an analytical mindset, so see my previous TNs here for descriptors. Yet this bottle showed pleasant signs of aging, softening and rounding, good integration so that I think this wine is really in a good place now, presumably for the next couple of years. Wouldn't want to risk my neck in predicting how long though, maybe it isn't on …

Second bottle, second TN. Eye: Medium ruby, only slightly fading edges, medium viscosity. Nose: Cooked strawberry, blackberries, mild cigar box and pine forest and a hint of cinnamon: 90. Palate: Doesn't quite hold nose's promise, slightly watery and not too complex, but very moreish and fruity. As before: "Beautiful also to get such a fruit induced impression of sweetness from a wine that at a residual sugar level of 6 g/L is moderately dry" . Cooked unripe strawberries, some spice …

Intenso en nariz, en parado exhibe tierra mojada, apareciendo especias al agitar. En boca, sorprende su excesiva suavidad y acuosidad. Acabando la botella, no obstante, pareció ganar algo de fuerza.

Excellent wine. Great with food and great on its own.

Deep red color wine with nice level of complexity and some oak notes clearly identifiable. Light tanin with limited acidity and some residual sugar notes. Solid wine with good price vs. quality ratio.

Same as the previous bottle, not much of anything going on here. Disappointed as others from this producer were really nice. This opened with earthiness and barnyard, but once that blew off there was nothing left.

I got absolutly nothing from this, no aroma, no flavour. It must have been in a weird place.

At first it smells and tastes of spice and is chewy in the mouth. Over time, blackberry comes through but it still hasn't opened up much after 20 minutes. Should have decanted. The wine should sit longer.

À mon avis, le plus intéressant des vins de cette maison disponibles chez nous. Je le préfère au Gran reserva qui m'a souvent laissé sur ma faim (soif?) Le 2006 est bien mûr, sur le fruit avec un boisé bien intégré. C'est plutôt simple, mais ça se boit fort bien. Un joli vin de semaine.

Red berries, barnyard, earth, dust, pepper, some oak. Good acidity and silky tannins. Very enjoyable and excellent qpr, especially considering it's already aged 10 years!

Un peu simple, beaucoup de chêne au nez à l'ouverture, ce qui s'améliore en lui donnant un peu d'air. Vin très correcte, mais pas très remarquable. RQP ***

Mooie rode kleur. Neus niet erg prominent. Soepel, rood fruit gecombineerd met milde zoetheid. Weinig tannines. Makkelijke en smaakvol glas.

70% Garnacha, 20% Tempranillo, 10% Carinena The nose is clean, med intensity, dense blue fruit and violet, a lot of brett notes of barnyard, earthy and dampness, ripe red cherries, balsamic notes, dried herds. The wine is dry, med body and intenstity, med acidity with 13% alcohol, freshly made red cherry jam, I think it lacks real backbone, a lot of gamey/evolved elements that give a nice rustic profile (if you are into it), med finish. Very good quality, points …

Medium to dark ruby-garnet, quite youthful given the age. Nose of medium to low intensity with red and dark cherry, medicinal scents and saddle leather. Medium-bodied, silky-textured and balanced with medium aftertaste. Very elegant and food-friendly. Great qpr.
