Cedar, pencil lead and alcohol on the nose. Tobacco and coffee. Elegante dark fruit on the mid-plus mid. Medium plus finish and very balanced light tannins. This wine is drinkable once opened but perfect after a 3 hour decant(or another year in the bottle). 91-93 points

Fresh floral notes with a touch of vanilla oak lead to a light/medium mid palate of tart but ripe blackberry. Medium plus tannic/acidic finish. This wine needs at least another year to flesh out. 90+ once it does.

An elegant and balanced pesquera. Cedar and balsamic notes on the nose that lead to a light to medium mid palate of creamy ripe cherry and a surprisingly long finish given it's weightlessness. Some coffee and tobacco notes as it opens. Drink now.
