March 2, 2019 - Blackberry and raspberry on the nose along with secondary notes of cigar box. You can definitely taste the oak on the mid-mouth feel although this doesn't bother me the way it appears to bother other reviewers. Tannins are present, but nicely integrated - good enough to sip but can still stand up to a steak. I decanted for an hour and it was ready to drink. Interestingly enough, I had never purchased any wines from Leopoldina (apart from the grapes mixed into the black label); this was a mandatory purchase to access the 100 point Fortuna (which I've yet to taste). If the Amoenus and Fortuna version of the 2010 vintage are better than this it will be an enjoyable drinking experience!

January 21, 2019 - This is still a big, burly cab, even after a few hours of air. At the very beginning of its drinking window, if you give it a good decant, 10-15 years left in it easily. Score will likely rise in a few years.
