  Continues to miss....Just lacks substance and the only thing that is getting accentuated is the acidity and oak. DRINK

  Strong tannins that mellowed after decanting and opening up for an hour. Paired very well with short ribs. Would definitely have again.

  I enjoyed this. The rare bargain gran reserva (us $30) that drinks like a gran reserva. Inviting nose of blackberry, leather, and smoked meat. Smooth chocolate and easy drinking palate. Could have had more fruit, the oak is heavy. Nice quality and fully integrated at this stage.

  Either far too young or far too disjointed and hot to be of any service to my cellar. Definitely expected more from this producer. After 3 hours of air and float off of some of the alcohol, it started showing toast and small nuances of mocha, but still I had to look for it. Too hot for the table, and not worth my cellar space. I will pass on this vintage, but if you have it, decant and Drink.
