Drank @ Secrets Akumal w/ Ronald & Mel, drinking well, very smooth, dark fruit, cassis, licorice, chew tobacco, leather and mint/eucalyptus… also that typical Melchor green pepper, balanced wine…

Served to dinner with steak of deer and a chanterelle sauce after a 30 min decant. Open nose with typical notes of dark berries, blackcurrant and some tobacco. Blackcurrant, licorice and tobacco most obvious when tasting. Soft smooth tannins making the wine very easy to drink. Very nice wine which would perhaps pair even better with beef and a creamy sauce than game with mushrooms.

D1h Dark red, 6 Generous aroma of ripe blackcurrants Harmonious palate, m+T, m-A, h-B, dry with slight sweetness, loads of blackcurrant fruit, long fruity finish. Wait a couple of years for less up-front fruit and more complexity and less jammy style

Lots of wine consumed by the time this was opened. Popped and poured. Everyone loved this. You would pay a lot more to get a Napa cab of this quality.
