Winery review: Enticing aromas of garrigue,
lavender, incense, plum, and black cherry lead to a racy, intense, impeccably
balanced, lengthy wine that can be approached now but will provide enjoyment
for another 6-8 years. Wine Advocate

My review: Decided
to stop in at one of my old DC hangouts—Veritas Wine Bar. Turned out that Vega
Escal was one of the least expensive bottles on the menu. This wine had a nice fruity aroma. It’s a high alcohol wine and you could
definitely taste the heat. The finish was slightly tart but smooth. I enjoyed the wine and relatively speaking,
it was a good value.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
