I've been sitting on this one for quite a while and it was definitely worth it. Excellent ganache with plenty of stuffing still remaining. This could improve over the next 20 years, it's that good.

This bottle put me back in my chair. It tasted exactly like a Rayas Pignan I had a few months ago. Beautiful leather foundation with dark plum and mild cherry. Nice herbal wrapper. Darn good.
Dark red plum color and good clarity. Touch of booze on the nose with ripe raspberry fruit and a hint of light maple syrup. Flavors of smokey charred wood, spicy red berries, medium plus acidity, fine tannins and a little bite. Medium plus length of finish with stem notes. Very masculine. Excellent complexity. Wonder what this will taste like in 10 years because it definitely has the stuffing, wonder if I have the restraint.

I find that the older these wines are the more I am liking them.
