  Very much in the Bordeaux style, riper year, and drinking well now.

  Surprisingly good. Complexity with layers of leather, chocolate, and dark fruit. Can't beat the price.

  A nice surprise. I was expecting something decent and this was much better. Without food the alcohol comes through but besides that the blueberry, leather, and earthy flavors are delicious. This is very full and acidic.

  Dense, a little green pepper(not unlike a young Bordeaux), tannins remain but soft. Next bottle in 2-3 yrs.

  Dark ruby color. Intense earthy characteristics of tobacco, dark cacao, and leather. The best Amancaya vintage from my standpoint.
