December 26, 2023 - I can't believe this is so youthful with all the time it spent in the bottle. Amazingly delicious with nose of strawberry, rasberry, herbs, cedar, and orange peel. I think I can drink this vintage after 30 years from now with proper cellaring.

September 6, 2022 - A legend, still not up top the 1970; smoother, richer, spicier, sweeter.

February 5, 2022 - Roza la perfección. Mentolados en nariz , tostados, chocolate negro, complejidad y absoluta finura. Toneladas de capas, puedes seguir oliendo y sacando mil matices. Color que no denota la edad. Tremendo vino.
