  Getting better, a bit of herbaciousness and a tinge of graphite developing. Sound midweek easy drinker without rotting your teeth.Turning out to be a solid table wine...Drink or Hold

  A pre-tapped bottle with Coravin showed much better than the ones popped and poured, confirming this little guy has a little lead in his pencil. It was much tighter and denser than the glass we bled out of it about 2 months ago...
  
  This speaks to the notion that 2014 was definitely a "classic" vintage (more about terroir an less about fruit e.g 1996, 2004...) and it will definitely benefit from some mid term cellaring for the little guys and some long term cellaring for the bigger ones. This one should peak in 5 years...Very easy going and delicious now with some air...drink or Hold

  Warm and earthy, but a bit lean...Very nice table wine. Love the easy drinking aspect and what seems to be very light alcohol...Drink over next 5 years...

  Medium bodied, forward, simple and direct, with a rustic, dark, red fruit finish.

  Another great bargain from 2014. A pungent nose of bordeaux warm earth and funk, this wine is all about nose and the dry aristocratic wine under it. Not much fruit, just a great nose, some simple intellect, and lots of fun. Short finish...Would have been a home run in finish was longer...DRINK or Hold...But one to drink well for under 20 pesos.
