June 18, 2022 - Unlike the last reviewer, my bottle was not completely oxidised, but well down the tertiary path. Taste and nose of dried fruits. A clear tinge of brown in the colour. Not undrinkable, but very advanced. Drink now.

December 12, 2020 - Criado en barricas de roble francés y americano durante 13 meses.
Se rompió el corcho (era esperable) y lo termine poniendo en un decanter. Apenas lo abrí lo probé y tanto en aromas como en sabor estaba muy cerrado.
Lo esperé una hora y media y lo volví a probar: estaba más expresivo en nariz, pero en boca seguía cerrado.
Recién a las 3 horas estaba tomable. La nariz era una fiesta, con aromas a compotas, ahumados, tabaco y pimienta negra. En boca tenía un retrogusto amargo que no me convencía.
A las 4 horas y media se acomodo todo y explotó. Se equilibró mucho en boca y se fue el gusto amargo del final.
Cómo conclusión creo que le pasó su mejor momento pero es un vino que está más que tomable a pesar de sus 23 años. La última copa fue genial! -
