Nice medium bodied Cab Sav from Cataluña. Notes of minerality. Bell pepper once it opens up. Some black fruit and leather to taste, but I get almost cherry lips red sweet fruit notes too. Good with food - too big to drink on its own.

Excellent Bordeaux blend by Raül Bobet. Definitely from high altitude vineyard. Gently extracted, supple cassis like fruit, presence of new oak but we'll ballanced.

On the nose, smoke, leather & wood, all very natural smelling; intertwined with big, round fruits; plum, cherry & blackberries with elderflower & green bell pepper behind On the palate, amazing lightness for a Bordeaux style with velvet tannins and strong intensity & depth. Much more fruit forward with heavy dark fruits, mostly blackberries and plum with the classic Bordeaux background of oak, leather and smoke. Vibrant greens and bitter forest notes round it out

Sailing to Durban (South Africa) On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet balanced, with velvety tannins that give it a smooth texture. The flavors continue to unfold with layers of plum, dark chocolate, and a touch of oak, creating a harmonious blend that lingers beautifully.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot & Merlot. Opens with lots of dust early on. Also black olives, moist leaves, blackberries, black plums, cured meat, blueberries, minerals, toast, black & white pepper, vanilla & fresh champignons. The palate, being driven by elevated acidity & fine, silky tannins has a similar flavor profile - blackcurrants, blackberries, a hint of juniper, Turkish delight, tea with dried berries, mint, saline, cedar, lilac, dried leaves & black olives. 🇪🇸FE92

Juicy, delicious, my favorite of the three that I have tried from this winery. Great balance of acid, tannins, burnt wire on nose, butter finish, definitely a winner. Aged in XII century stone vats.

Dark ruby. Nose is dark cherry and baking spices. Subtle oak and olive brine. Palate is full dark fruit. Plum. Olive. Brine follow nose. It’s a nice wine. Slight jagged edge mid palate. 91-92. Would be solid 93 without that saline brine mid.

Berbena. Earthy, full-bodied, a bit oaky but really the perfect age to drink. Almost feels like there is oak on it but says fermented in carved stone vats. Id get it again but def don’t want to pay more than €40

Excellent wine, typical Bordeaux blend but from the Spanish Pyrennees, just at the Catalonian border. Dark fruit, jam, oak, vanilla, leather. Interesting to find Petit Verdot outside of the Bordeaux region!

Bordeaux blend. Vanilla, oak, dark plum, blackcurrant in the nose. Balanced on palate. Medium body. Light clove and charcoal notes on the palate. Medium green pepper more at the end.
