NY Eve tasting of 6 wines: at first dark chocolate...then complex nose of toffee, bacon fat, maple syrup, candied fruit...with floral notes as well! Zero tannins...sweet, velvety smooth with a hint of sourness in a medium finish. Rich and soft...definitely ready and perfect now! Average score from six tasters: 94...including a 85 as well as a 100!

UWS (@ JB): Beautiful bouquet with dark berries, coffee, toast and forest floor. On the palate leather, chocolate, sweet spices, a firm amount of sweetness, still sticky tannin and a good length.

Nice berry pie crust on the nose with some ash and graphite. Cherry and blueberry on the palate. Very berry up front. We paired this side by side with the 2007 Trapiche Single Vineyard Fausto Orellana De Escobar. These younger vines produced a much fruiter wine than the Fausto Orellana.

In the bouquet beautiful dark berries and some green impressions. On the palate red and dark berries and a lot of fresh acidity and tannin. Ready now.
