"Bright red. On the nose, notes of earth and licorice. This is followed by a more fruity, large-scale palate of ripe red fruit and botanical herbs, with a long, lively, fleshy finish. Silky tannins add structure to these rich red fruit flavors. This is always the first vintage to be harvested, about two weeks before Guardiola, which is 350 meters higher." (Vinous 2015)
