Decanted for an hour. Nose: bright red fruit, earth. Palate: Smooth, low tannins, low acid, blackberry notes. Long finish. Nice drop. Funny also broke the cork!

Un-named Atlanta wine tasting Group: Wine #6 in blind tasting (wines with some age). Notes were poor. Dark black in the glass with slight gradient from rim to center. Blackberry, fig preserves, vanilla (not overdone) and black cherry on nose. Palate had similar flavor profile. Full body, good structure with integrated tannins. Wine has aged extremely well. Guessed Aalto (Ribera Del Deuro) given structure - nice surprise here. 93+/-

Exactly the same as my experience in December and January right down to the broken cork. This wine is aging gracefully. I opened the bottle, the cork broke so I decanted through a vinturi. The nose is all fruit, the palate was dark cherry, coffee and earth. The finish is moderate to long.

Dark, full bodied, has aged very well, rich fruit, hints of chocolate, smooth mellow tannins, a rare treat.
