Pushed cork. Palette reflects maturity with a dusky brown overtone. Nose is evocative of earth and mushrooms with a hint of red fruits and fleeting chocolate notes. There is also some VA lurking. But there is a velvety texture on the palate limned with decent acidity. Acceptable but tiring. Not a wine to grab by the pallet.

Murrieta siempre ha sido uno de mis preferidos, lastimosamente no se guardan bien. esta botella si se guardo y fue un recuerdo de los excelentes vinos que pudimos tener en los 90 del gran marques

Lovely bottle. Perhaps a tiny bit past its prime? Excellent body, with genuine smoothness. More silky than a cabernet sauvignon. Went wonderfully with lamb chops.
