This bottle was still good, probably due to optimal storage. Very smooth, with a rather mature, but a bit flat taste, with hints of cherry-liquor and prunes.

This is over the hill and barely drinkable with some aeriation. Soft texture and mature smell, but oxidized flavours, tart fruit with something like strong nutmeg and acidity.

P: LM, poss even L body; QUITE long, but more along the lines of "just" acidity/astringency rather than grape-like "flavors". While not UNpleasant, neither can I imagine a reason TO drink this -- particularly considering the $12.99 we OVERpd for it.

Vinos americanos durante viaje a Perú; 9/26/2015-10/19/2015 (Perú + Dallas): Después de ser aireado un par de veces, saca un gran aroma a pimienta y madera.
En boca, poco cuerpo pero agradable.

Deep ruby red colour. Sweet cherries on the nose. Taste of sweet cherries, raspberries and raisins. Great with grilled meat. Balanced tannins.
