Drank on 2023 - 2024 new year's eve. Color is dark ruby, viscous tears. Aromas are pronounced with layers of red and dark fruits, cassis, plums, elegant nose. Tastewise balanced on some components, big tannins smooth and not aggressive, medium acidity, dry. Some sweetness on the entry, full bodied, complex flavors and it shows neatly on the palate, finish is long with much fruit left. Enjoyable.

Not sure what happened here, but this bottle had ugly sulfur notes and was really stinky. Not really drinkable. Lots of swirling and air didn't help much. I guess this bottle wasn't representative.

we liked the 2006 a little more but this peppery carminiere blend was a prominent contributor to an elegant meal at tango sur
