Young and vibrant nose with notes of vanilla, currants, pomegranate and a whiff of violets. The vanilla and currants pull through on the palate with some coffee and underbrush lingering in the backdrop. The finish has some good heft and medium-heavy tannins - so this one can go at least another 8-10 without a problem (2023-2025).

Great food wine. Not so complex as Bea, but juicy and well put together, with modest tannin.

Terrific producer. The 12 is very young, powerful, just about approachable, another good Antano bottle.

Earthy notes on the nose (smell whiffs of cherry). Medium bodied wine w a tannic/acidic finish. Borderline rip your face off tannins.

B /B+ dark cherry on the nose. On the palate rip red fruit. Light earth and tannins. It's simply delicious. Drink now.

Earthy fruit, grippy tannins but smooth finish nonetheless. Affordable and good with food. Will buy again.
