March 12, 2017 - Surprisingly good. Complexity with layers of leather, chocolate, and dark fruit. Can't beat the price.

June 28, 2016 - A nice surprise. I was expecting something decent and this was much better. Without food the alcohol comes through but besides that the blueberry, leather, and earthy flavors are delicious. This is very full and acidic.

February 26, 2015 - Dark ruby color. Intense earthy characteristics of tobacco, dark cacao, and leather. The best Amancaya vintage from my standpoint.
