For me at it’s peak. Nice fruits like bramble dark cherries and plum, combined with meaty tones, leather and some umami. — 6 days ago

Really very good. Probably best wine I’ve had from Ceritas. 12.3%, tastes old school but with slightly more new world flavor characteristics like warm spices and purple berries. Great acid and lingering finish. Very enjoyable and fun to try with the age. — 6 months ago

Blend of Tempranillo and Graciano. Medium ruby color with a dark core and orange rim. Aromas of coffee, leather, ripe red fruit, wet stones and forest floor. Flavors of black berry/currant/plum fruit, black licorice, balsamic vinegar and roasted meat and nuts. Long earthy and slightly spicy finish. Pleasant acidity and silky (but slightly chalky) tannins. Full bodied, round and elegant. Beautifully aged. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! Happy 60th Birthday, Karyn! — 21 days ago

140 bottles of this treasure were found in the winery's cellar around 2011 before it was reconditioned, sealed with fresh corks, and released into the world a few years later. A portion of these made their way to the Portland market in 2017 thanks to a fantastic local distributor, Casa Bruno.

Popped and poured - pristine cork beneath the wax and beautiful color, not at all brown or tawny, more brickish, slightly orange towards the rim. First sniff- clearly this is a sound, complete wine that is without a doubt very much alive. Aromatically reminiscent of old Bordeaux with ample leather, earth, cigar box and tobacco, sandalwood veering towards old wooden cabinet (if that makes sense), clove and nutmeg and cola, fruit is still present- strawberry/pomegranate, orange, very herbal and floral with dried rose petals/potpurri, vibrant acidity and an impressively long, haunting finish. Incredibly elegant, silky texture, crystalline purity, finished very Burgundian. Really, a perfect hybrid of aged Bordeaux and Burgundy. As a friend put it, "somehow both aged and ageless." No question the best 50+ year old bottle I've been fortunate to try. Certainly a once in a lifetime opportunity, though I hope to track down another bottle someday. You'd never guess this was 105 years old.
