nice nose of dark berries, taste especially of black berries. medium body and okay finish until in the end the tannins are very metallic. this metallic after taste got better after 1-2hours. not quite convinced but still good.

quite ordinary wine. when opening it was a little closed and it smelled smokey and of berries. thought it would gain by letting it breath. it gained some after 1h, put started to desintegrate soon after. alright wine, nice taste of berries, a little leather. nice acidity and tannins but not much body.

(CASTANO HECULA) #3; COLOR-dark; NOSE-intriguing cauliflower & green pepper mixed w/ some berries; smells like rope-burn ("I don't know what that means"); TASTE-nice Quaffing wine; it's got good jammy bright fruit; really nice tannin structure (I like that it makes my mouth dry); nice bouquet; floral and violet aspects on the finish (Fabreeze action); I like it a lot; little Old & New World action; RP-91; GV-88

Too bad this was the last one. A good run for the money. Nice blackberry, good tannins, strong acid backbone, still lively and interesting.

Not sure if this was an off-bottle or just past its best. Had a weird metallic taste and a sharp finish.

Smokey, plums, plush, low acid, integrated tannins, brawny and warm, short finish. Typical showing.
