  Top of hill About 88+ at this point. Had with smoked egg brisket. Still a big thick heavy wine. Minimal tannins. Blueberry smoothie.

  Tonight's tasting was markedly different than my last post in October 2019 when I wrote: "This was dark blackish inky purple, full bodied, powerful, rich forward fruit of super ripe savoury extracted raisin, notes of expresso coffee, soy and anise, with a bit of heat with almost a medicinal or metallic layer. I wonder if this is indicative of this vintage or if perhaps we held it a bit too long, or perhaps this is an aberrant bottle. We have some more of this vintage and will watch it carefully. RM 88 Points."
  
  That bottle may have been a bit aberrant or showing some bottle variation. Tonight, this was more in line with the characteristic profile of this wine that we love.
  
  Dark inky purple garnet colored, full bodied, rich, intense thick concentrated jammy black and blue fruits with notes of cassis, anise, bitter dark chocolate, spice, black tea with chewy tannins on a full but smooth polished tannin laced finish.

  Consistent with the last bottle, you best be pairing this with some serious grilled meat (anticuchos skirt this evening), but it is solid and has achieved great balance for such a big wine.
