Tasted at Don Melchor vertical dinner with Enrique Tirado. All tertiary at this point, the fruit is gone. There is some interest but ultimately the fruit is long gone and the wine isn’t all that fun to drink. It is being offered for over $1,000 per bottle and this is an easy pass.

Color brickish red. Red fruit, strawberries, autumnal leaves, cedar, licorice. Old bdx like. Palate is red fruit, some sour cherries, sweet spices - nutmeg, a hint of salinity. Acid is a tad Low. Drink up now. MB LA MT MF

Amazing wine, mint, leather, earth and smoke. Ripe red fruit. It’s balanced, long and very enjoyable. It’s drinking in the window right now and my goodness is it good. Let me know if you’ve tried it recently because this was just great.
Dark red colour with some yellow at rim Big nose, balsamic notes, minty, cedar and just a hint of VA Sweet fruit, gentle tannins. It has a warming baked earth sort of taste with leather and tobacco. Mellow and well balanced, some menthol notes on the finish Mature and tertiary but not in decline. Sheer pleasure

Past its prime. But, whoever we bought this from stored it well. Fantastic nose, great bottle age. After a 30 minute decant, it really opened up and showed its beauty. Drink it if you've got it.
