Dark plum colour. Mature nose, spice and figs. Good fruit on the nose, cherries, leathery, spice. Smooth and quite rich. Straightforward. Medium length.

Dark cherry colour. Deep dark berry spicy fruit on the nose, no evidence of oak. The palate is predominantly cherry, fully rope, soft and spicy. Well balanced. Quote long. Good vfm.
Drink now.
Bought by my late wife Liz, who loved ripe Chilean wines. Another good choice of hers.

Drunk to accompany chocolate cake. Very indulgent!
Light bronze colour. Lively small bubbles. Maturity on the nose, stewed pears, melted butter (bottle brought by a friend, so no idea how old it is). Palate is rich and quite full. Apricots, pineapples. Good acidity, well balanced. Moreish.

thanks for the note. i didn't realize it was #1,000! I haven't been posting many notes over the last 5 years, but my lyme disease finally seems to be in remission, so I've been drinking more recently. Not doing much buying - just working my way through old inventory. Finding lots of oxidized whites that were meant to have been drunk earlier. But lots of nicely aged reds at this point.
Best regards!
