Rich color of shadows [12 month, new French oak barrel program]. 7 day maceration produced jammy aromas and blackberry preservative flavors, black pepper spice. thrilling tannins haven't weakened from aging. Finish lingers nicely. — 10 years ago

This is the 2005 Edicion Limitada. Wow...big spice, black fruit, smoke, and earth on the nose. Palate is rich and mouthcoating with fruit, dark chocolate, spice, and very-fine-but-still-rustic tannins. Bright acidity that works nicely with the earthiness. Very long finish on this beautiful wine. Very sensual. — 11 years ago

I must say I was a little concerned when I first tasted this wine but after about an hour in the decanter and without food, it was soft, decent fruit richness but lacked power and complexity. However, with the ribeye, the flavors and complexity really shined. The fruits are ruby. Creamy blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, cherry cola, black plum, nutmeg, allspice, star anise, just hint of thyme & rosemary, mocha, caramel & vanilla barrel toast, long smooth finish that doesn't stop. Enjoy now and for another 5-8 years. Best apparently with a ribeye! — 11 years ago
