Community Tasting Note

  August 26, 2012 - This was awesome. Very much a puppy of a wine despite being 17 years old. Lots of fruit still in this wine, but loads of leather, dried underbrush, berries, and tree bark. Almost a cinnamon spice and all spice component that is really interesting. This also has a saline note on the finish, which I adore (especially when drinking this with some nicely seasoned lamb or beef). As far as weight and texture is concerned, this isn't as lithe as Lopez de Heredia or even the Ardanza from the same wine maker. It's closer in style to the CVNE Imperial...power and finesse wrapped into one complete package. This one isn't cheap, but it's 100% worth the price of admission.
