April 13, 2024 - The 2005 showed much better than the 2006 during a vertical tasting.
March 29, 2024 - Really a big surprise as to how good this wine has become. Its really changed over the past decade.

Resto AVV La Suite de Sherby jeudi le 22-Février-2024.
Mieux que les autres bues dernierement.
Assez ample et rond, on a une petite impression de glycérine.
Fruit dense et extrait, primare certains ont mentionnés.
Les tannins sont charnus et la finale très longue.
Un peu brute et tape à l'oeil.
Bien dans ce style.
December 14, 2023 - Just keeps getting better.
November 18, 2023 - OMG. This so delicious. Pure blackcurrant, blue plum, coffee grinds, truffle, mushroom on the nose. On the palate, so delicious now, really come around after many years so closed. Red fruits, smoke, fantastic acid fruit balance. Absolutely at its peak. I’m scoring high based on pleasure, rather than intricate complexity.

November 1, 2023 - Tasted at Don Melchor vertical dinner with Enrique Tirado. Very identifiably Chile, with some of the trademark quince and Eucalyptus notes. Juicy and very concentrated. Tons of oak is still making its presence felt with vanilla and chocolate aromatics. I would not have guessed that this wine is 17 years old - youthful in appearance and the palate. Nice to drink now but with plenty in store.
September 24, 2023 - Nice depth. Went well with Tendercrop Sirloin.
June 23, 2023 - Original purchase and stored in a temperature controlled environment. Bottle decant 2 hours. Drank over 3 hours. Nose of dark ripe fruit and a hint of cocoa. In the glass it didn't show any signs of age. The palate was surprisingly fresh, ripe cherry and plums. Tannins still very present, but not intrusive. Very enjoyable now.
June 21, 2023 - Agreeing with many recent notes. This wine is at it's prime now so enjoy. Beyond full body, the wine has a beautiful nose and color and still offers a nice amount of jaminess, but the tannins are now wonderfully smooth with age.
