March 20, 2024 - Very aromatic and powerful showing blackberry, plum, pencil shaving, cedar and iron. Full bodied, medium acidity, lenghty finish and muscular tannins. In its youth, can benefits for a few more years in the cellar. NI:5, FI:23, FC:8, B:4, L:5

February 14, 2023 - Decanted for four hours and consumed over the next 4 hours. The wine did not change at all. The experience was mountain fruit in one's face. No elegance whatsoever: a rambling, beware of dog sign, raggedy cyclone fence, bearded, overweight kind of wine with plenty of acid. Hopefully, in time....
