  • From a magnum. Very nice.

  • This is still kind of a hot mess. Alcohol and oak dominate the fruit, which is still showing but this just lacks the balance that I expect from rincon. Will give remaining bottles time but don’t have high hopes here.
    Next time will pair with fatty red meat like braised short ribs and not delicate fare

  • PnP. Cork broke in half but extracted remainder without crumbling. Medium red. Savory nose of a variety of spices and some red fruits. Lovely intensity on the palate with sweet fruit still remaining. Quite impressive at age 12.

  • Subsequent notes on this wine from close to four years ago. Dark ruby red in color with no signs of aging. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & blueberries with overtones of floral notes of violets & spice notes of nutmeg & cloves, earthy, herbs, minerals, dark cocoa & a hint of vanilla in background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, rich, ripe fruit flavors of sweet dark cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, earthy, cocoa, some cherry cola, minerals & a hint of vanilla. Lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well at present & at about 11 years old, I doubt any further development would occur although it may hold onto its current plateau of development for several more years longer if cellared properly.
