PNP. cork perfect. color ruby garnet with orange edges. nose has dill, alcohol, and vanilla strawberry notes. swishing shows mostly alcohol heat and some VA notes on the finish. swishing shows some polish but the alcohol brings up the rear. not my favorite Rincon. seems hot and overripe. judging from the other notes probably waited too long on this one.

I find tonight's bottle to be a bit tired, and just a bit done. THe nose is quite wafting. The mouth is still quite present, and heavy on the dried red fruit with a nice bit of green grass. The follow through seems a bit short and a bit cola-like, i.e. without structure.

Extravaget nose, if a bit monolithic. Mouth of canned and dried cherries, some herby earth, and a lot of green leaves - nice. The length is sweet and very "mid palate", and somewhat extended.
I'd say drink up. It's not going to get to the point of being extravagently good, but it is quite nice now.

This one's definitely my last bottle! A bit clunky and one dimensional as compared to my last note. Nice, but not spectacular.

Excellent (last bottle) tonight. Penetrating nose, decent/nice mouth, excellent dried length.
