Wowzer. Starts with vanilla (on good word a confirmation from my wdp). The berries are there, no joke. Blackberry and cranberry. Sorta smith, no much on the acidity front so it lays out with a heavy mix. The Tempranillo, petit and cab jam nicely. Got some thick sorta bbqish? — 4 years ago

Very nice opening with some berry and a hint of floral notes. Good structure - picking up some chocolate and light acidic in a good way:)
The carmenere is tasting good !

Easy drinking beaujolais - it’s got the bunny gum and hits with lite touch - some cranberry:) but this is 2017. Developed nicely with some super silky tannins — 4 years ago

This one jumps out to you. A big bold bunch of berries and some sandalwood to start. Some softish tannin that sorta build and linger and drift off with a mineral or 2 that I need to figure out:) — 4 years ago

Soft with medium acidity, although it picked up a bit with a swirl in the mouth. Some light white plum and apple flavors. It’s well balanced. I started at 8 but 2 sips in going 8.2😏 — 4 years ago

What a lovely Pape
Presents a soft but complex collection of berries - cran and boysenberry for me
Its got a sorta powerful and well rounded body - full bodied for sure with some earth and stone and a long ass finish
Drifting to my next sip

There’s a perfume note of the top. The berries are good but behind the curve. It’s raspberry, I think. What’s coming through (believe it or not) is lemon. I’ll leave it at that:) — 4 years ago

Some perfume and little alcohol smoke to start. Cranberries and soft tannins that’s hang on a bit. No much acid. Finished dry, just asking for another sip.
