March 6, 2023 - Wine has improved with age. Still very much intact with very minor oxidation. Could stay in bottle for 5-7 years for sure. Drinking nicely and group tasting couldn’t believe age.

March 12, 2017 - A blend of 80% Carménère and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from 35-120 year old vines. 14.5% alcohol. Opened at Smoke in Miami with Emilio. Not decanted. Dark purple color. A round and medium bodied wine. Notes of ripe berries and currant. Chewy tannins. Round finish. 92 points.

October 12, 2016 - Mini-vertical tasting of '05, '08, '10. Very different from the '05 and '10 vintages because of the much heavier Carmenere content (80%). More plum than cassis, with exotic spices that the other two don't produce. Long finish. Will watch this one develop with interest...

June 19, 2016 - Big but well balanced. Drinking well right now. Nice cassis and dried cherries. Earthy and meaty. Much better than a year ago.
