Wow! Incredible wine, very youthful but balanced, at absolute peak of drinkability but many years to go, this bottle with no oxidation or overripe/characteristics which often mar the 2003 or 2004 vintages. Sweet young fruit entry but with good acidity and balance and towns, nothing out of place. Hope I have some more! 11/11/2024

This wine needs air! Give it at least 60 minutes in carafe. At first, I thought the wine was tired with the nose of sweet plums and even raisins, but with the air, it started singing. The nose was dominated by sour cherry, plum and mocha with a bit of freshness. On the palate, wine is dense and almost sweet with still very much present grainy tannins and solid acidity as good backbone. Medium plus finish.
Not my style of wine, but if you like heavy (14.7% alcohol), opulent and well-structured wine from Spain, this is definitely for you. 12/25/2023
