2011 Aperture Proprietary Red, Alexander Valley. A stunner from a very hard year. Herbal and cherry notes hit tobacco and a hint of espresso. — 11 years ago

Assobio Douro Touriga Nacional Blend 2011

Beautiful young Beaujolais type ruby red, brilliant, and slight opaque brickish rim. Quite abundant and pleasant nose of bouquet of flower, lilac, grape bubble gum, and second tear tree bark and smokeyness. Certainly this wine has an amazing aperture in mouth. Enters fairly tame, but explodes on a rainbow of sensational flavors. Very worthwhile structure and remarkable acidity. Balance between structure and its fruity character is also remarkable. Finishes beautifully and long. Not as much as 94 pts but 92 pts. — 11 years ago
