Awards and/or Press Quotes

| Robert Parker | 93 Points - ‘The nose combines notes of dark fruit with tobacco, Mediterranean herbs and spices, some meaty notes and a touch of leather. The palate is full-bodied and shows high dry-extract, in a wine that cries for powerful food, like the lovely stewed meat dishes that you find in Bierzo. You can drink it now, but it will keep well. Drink 2013-2020.’ |
| International Wine Challenge | Commended in 2015 |
| Vinous-Antonio Galloni | 93 Points - ‘Dark ruby. A heady, complex bouquet of candied red and dark berries, sassafras, potpourri and candied liquorice, with mineral and cracked pepper accents. Sappy, palate-staining black raspberry and cherry-cola flavours show a suave blend of richness and vivacity, with violet pastille and anise nuances adding complexity. Closes with gentle tannic grip, impressive energy, and floral, mineral and cola notes.’ |
