I think this is my last bottle, 🙁. It is showing very well. Still a deep, vibrant purple violet color. Nose offers fleshy black fruits, with just enough herbal/leafy/tobacco-cigar box to lend interest but not obscure the fruit. The texture is resolved and ample, medium+ body. Served w falafel and homemade sourdough, griddled flatbreads.

Overly grassy and herbaceous. Not much fruity notes left after seven years, probably should have drunk young. Tight tannin and acidic.

Nov 30th, 2017A bit alcoholic and a little firm. Coming back on day two is a revelation. Classically aromatic with currant leaf, firmly dry/sharp blackberry and noble tannins.

I may be biased, but this wine is fascinating. May be my new fave find. Reminds me of Harvest in Prosser; a mix of hop and concord aromas. Silky smooth.

Feb 26th, 2016Opaque purple. Aromas of currant and leafy tobacco. Just the style I prefer from cooler climate Chilean vineyards.

Wow. Complex & vibrant. Plum, blackcurrant, manchego/mature cheddar, green herbs, bell pepper, and long dry cacao finish. Well beyond its $10 price. Better if sat for 2+ hours after opening. The 2011 will taste better in 2018, it's a bit too high on tannins.
