Acclaim
"Deep ruby. Aromas of ripe red berries, candied licorice and pungent flowers develop a spicy nuance in the glass. Appealingly sweet cherry, raspberry and floral pastille flavors deepen and expand steadily with aeration. Closes smooth and broad, with repeating spiciness, subtle tannins and very good, fruity tenacity."
— Vinous, May 2017
"Some currants and cherries on the nose with hints of white pepper. Medium body, sticky tannins and a medium, fresh finish. From 100% garnacha. Drink now."
— James Suckling, Dec 2016
