On the nose, bright floral dark currants; blackberries; dark cherries, blue fox mix, chocolate, volcanic minerals, stones, loamy soils and dry & fresh dark florals. The body is full and round tannins really beginning to soften. They are dusty & velvety. Blackberries, dark cherries, blueberries, boysenberries, milk chocolate, mocha powder, loamy soils, clay with hint of iron minerals, nice acidity and a beautifully well polished finish. Photos of, one of their tasting rooms & high iron Farella volcanic soil.

The election is almost over - thank you very much - too much stress - but this wine is helping so much - dark gorgeous fruit with a taste to the tongue that makes feel so much better - then the finish comes in all seems tranquil and the solar system seems aligned again - see what wine can do - decanted 1 hour - smiling again

Ok, an amazing wine. Beautiful fruit on the nose, masculine, pepper/spice. Opens up to dark fruit, cassis, cigar on the palate and a nice long finish. Well done Juan!
