Great, intense nose of green bell pepper, truffles; similarly strong palette of cassis and vanilla finish; metallic tannins on the back but not acidic; paired with an El Capricho ox chop, good value and reliable if not a touch overpowering (for a 16') and singular;
Mint, sour cherry, hint of sage, a misty but uncomplex nose; creamy, rounded (oxidated) and detectable barrique finish with no tannins; sweet and approachable however not my style; paired with earthy fried lamb crumpets;
