Solid Bordeaux blend. Still needs some time I think, as this was OK on day 1, but fantastic on day 3. Black and blue fruit, flower petals, a slight earthy minerality, and some sweet vanilla latte on the finish. Very nice paired with chicken stir fry. Drink late 2017/early 2018 - 2022

Decanted for several hours. Not as rich and full-bodied as I was expecting (based of previous vintages of Pistolero). May need more time to come together. Aromas and flavors of plum fruit, dirt and wood, with a nice bitter dark chocolate and espresso finish. Drink 2017-2022.

loaded with plum, baking chocolate and vanilla. Also packs in wild blackberries, mocha, herbs and traces of fig compote and spice. Dense, yet not overdone.

Big and straightforward. Crafted with an entire forest, including the sawdust.
