February 7, 2023 - The thought went through my head (probably because of the James Suckling 91 add on sticker to the label - if I was a man to give ratings , this is solidly a 93, with great potential to go to 95 - 96. Just such a warm depth of flavor and excitement to it.

September 28, 2021 - And also blue fruited like the 2019. The wine maker notes much more length to it. And oh, this is the Hombros. They are cutting out the bottom of the bunches for a quality reason that I don't understand. More round and fat on the palate. More weight, maybe a bit too weighty? But maybe that is the point or makes it more marketable? Opens up in the glass and the weight helps it out. 25% More or les new oak. Why new oak? More tannic and stronger in the body the winemaker notes.
