“An elegant, medium-bodied white, with rich hints of grilled nuts and marzipan layered with golden apple, lime blossom, chalk and lemon pith and backed by sleek, vivid acidity.”

“This dark garnet wine features aromas of cherry, milk chocolate and coffee bean. Coffee notes transition to the palate plus flavors of black cherry, purple fig, dark chocolate, roasted red pepper and herbes de Provence. Dense tannins briefly settle onto the tongue and gums and are washed away by bright fruit.”

“A supple red, offering integrated notes of plump cherry, dried thyme and rose, anise and mineral aligned with fine tannins and orange peel acidity. Lightly mouthwatering throughout, turning long and appealing on the well-spiced finish.”

“This light-straw-colored wine has a bouquet of green apple and peach, with a touch of pine needle. It is bright in the mouth, with flavors of pineapple, grapefruit, dried apricot and thyme that wind down to a bright finish.”

“This wine has a nose of brambly berries, pomegranate and flint with a light hint of wildflowers. It is quite soft at first sip and then builds in texture as midweight tannins take brief hold of the palate. It offers a sensuous, almost syrupy quality in the mouth, with flavors of blackberry, maraschino cherry, violet candy, smoke and thyme that linger into a savory finish.”

“Juicy and refined with lots of finesse here. Complex aromas of berries, chili chocolate, plums, flowers and mineral, with some cigar box and truffle. Medium to full body, but ethereal and elegant with streamlined concentration. Sleek, silky, precise and very long."

Palate is juicy, savory and precise with a medium to full body, showing silky and refined tannins with tension and resolve. Beautiful length with finesse, restraint and elegance here.”

"Zingy gooseberries with green herbs and spices. Very pure and tangy with crystalized acidity that cuts into the pure, creamy palate, with a delicious saline edge to the green and white fruit. Elegant and zesty."

"A big, powerful red for this part of Spain, but it also has a lot of spicy depth with subtle meaty and wild-herb notes. And behind the richness the tannins are silky, the balance spot-on, in spite of 14.5% alcohol. Very long, fresh and elegant finish that pulls you back for more."

“It is very aromatic and floral, expressive, fruit-driven, elegant and quite cool, as the mountains stop the warm winds from the Mediterranean. It has very good freshness. Really very good, the finest vintage so far and one of the highlights of the tasting.”

"Dark garnet to the eye, this wine offers aromas of blackberry, raspberry and vanilla. A network of delicate tannins supports flavors of pomegranate, raspberry, menthol and cocoa powder. Notes of candied orange peel and violet arrive on the finish."
