Incredible wine. Decanted for 2 hours and still a monster. Comparable with the best of Napa. Have a few more and will wait a year or so before opening another.

Purchased at auction for 85 bucks. For that price you will not find a better wine. Could use a couple more years but drinking great already, almost overpowering with rich concentrated fruit that is not overtly ripe, the oak weighs heavily but still seems seemless. This blows away the 14 Don Melchor I opened last night. Highly recommended.

Two hour decant. Incredible nose upon opening of blackberry, plum, lavender, leather. Well integrated tannins, incredibly balanced and smooth. Enjoyed over several hours. This wine was more subdued than the 2014 Palengat, but still excellent.

Drank as a tribute to my late mother who would be celebrating her 90th birthday today. A wonderful, robust yet elegant wine. Excellent!! Happy birthday, mom.

Still needs time, 5 hour decant and it softened, but not there yet.

Day 1: 92-93 pts.
Day 2: 93-94 pts.
Ready now but way more life on it (opened by mistake).

94+ Beefy and inky with powerful tannins. Not for the faint of heart at the moment. Let’s see how this one grows.
