I had a bottle of this wine back in 2012, and at the time it was good but not at its best. It seemed like it was going threw one of those down moment where the wine is less expressive. But you could tell that it had great potential. Yesterday I opened another one, my last bottle, and I really wish I had more. This wine is definitly at his best now, The nose offer some intense notes of red bell pepper and fresh mint, sweeter and comfy notes of chocolate are adding another layer, the palate is confirming the great promises of the nose, with some blackberry notes, chocolate, the herbal character intensify with aromas of tarragon and mint. The finish is medium + with a medium + complexity. If you never experienced Mexican wines, start with this one and you will be hooked for life.

i really enjoyed that wine, nice notes of black pepper, wild ginger, and red currents, nice earthiness balanced with a beautiful acidity.
