Pop and pour. Dark garnet. Kirsch alcohol on the nose. Palate is similar, rather disjointed and hot tonight. This is a bit thin in the middle but showed more fruit than La Ponce which we had next to this. Still, not enough complexity or finesse here to interest me.

Light bloody water color. Nose of raspberry, black pepper, and vanilla. Notes of vanilla on a creamy texture. Black pepper on the mid-palate and finish. Mixture of red and black fruits. Red fruits and cream dominate the finish, which is fairly lengthy. I think this wine is better than the last time I tried a bottle. Good stuff.

Bull's-blood red. Dark berries, floral scents, and hints of dessert spices on the nose. This wine is getting better. Dark fruits (plums, blackberries) mixed with a bit of strawberry. Very smooth and easy to drink. Trailing finish of dark fruits and something approaching Christmas spices. Bordering on 90.

Wow. Drinking really well. Loving that I have 3 left. Cherries on front, good acid balance. Wine has really improved over the years.

Nice drinking wine at excellent value price point. Silkened out over 45 minutes in the glass.
