Olivier scored this wine: 90/100
Wow, this wine has a lot to say in the glass!
Both the colour and the nose are a bit more intense than the Don David Reserve.
You get a good expression of the varietal on the nose. There is a nice combination of leafyness (i hope it's a word!) and eathy tones.
The mouthfeel is quite velvety. It is tannic but with smooth tannins. Dark fruits jam and oaky features are also part of the charm of this wine. Long finale part tannins,part
freshness,and a hint of paprika. Begs for grilled meats...or portobello burgers.
Make sure to let it open in your glass or in a carafe for a good 30-45 minutes, or try to forget it a couple of years in your cellar :)
