  October 4, 2016 - Nice brick color. Incense, violets, wax in the smell. Kind of the typical "old wine" notes, but a little brighter. Some dill and vanilla in there, too, but it's not quite a dill bomb. Nothing particularly exciting about the taste, but overall a decent wine.

  May 16, 2011 - Port4olio Tasting (O Hotel, LA): Showing fairly ripe fruit but not a lot of it. Fresh and juicy while also tannic. Not a lot of concentration but seems to have aged pretty well. A drink today wine but the ripeness of the fruit is a bit distracting.

  September 14, 2008 - Really classic one; Meaty, woody, full of cherries and berries aromas. A little murky wine (maybe cause it was traveling two days before and resting not enough). Anyway, crimson colour for a nice mature bottle. There is only a few more this wine can offer us.
  
  Realmente un placer beber un clásico como este; cárnico, lleno de maderas dulces y de aromas a cerezas y a bayas- Un poco turbio (quizás porque había realizado un viaje solamente dos días antes y no reposó lo suficiente). De todas formas, un bonito color carmesí para una botella totalmente madura. Este vino se encuentra en plenitud.
