What a pleasure to hold one of these gems for 13 years. The color is amber. Rich earth and plummy fragrances. The initial flavor is licorice. The texture is surprisingly creamy. The finish has some orange flavor. This gem was worth the wait.

14.5% abv. Forms legs on the side of tre glass. Mahagony color, thinning at the rim. Some purple grapeskin notes on the first evening. I thought this might be over-the-hill judging from the taste the first evening, but it opened up and showed me more on the second evening. There is a savory element along with some dark cherry and plum fruit notes. Drinks smoothly with a subtlety that pairs well with meats.

What a NW PN! Clear cherry colour. Earthy, smokie, chimney nose. Impressive. Little hottie in the palate yet pleasant and elegant. Long, quite long. A bit one-dimensional anyway. At this point and at 22€, personally recommended.
¡Menuda PN del Nuevo Mundo! Color Cereza claro. Nariz terrosa, ahumada, a chimenea. Impresionante. Un poco calentita en boca aunque agradable y elegante. Larga, muy larga. De todas formas un poco unidimensional. En este momento y a 22 cucos, la recomiendo personalmente.

Aged great and paired week with thanksgiving dinner. Less fruit forward and less acid. Balanced with a nice bit of the Dundee Soil.
