Tasted blind. Very lively with fruity notes of blueberry, blackberry, plum, coffee, mushrooms and dried meat. Finishes long, heightened and silky smooth with hints of baking spices. Drink now until 2024.

Color: Dense burgundy color with a little bit thinning near the extreme edge.
Nose: Red cherries, plum, blueberry with hints of leather and smoke.
Taste: Plums, cherry, and pepper spice. Very balanced and even through the palate with a firm backbone. This wine still stands and delivers though the flavors are beginning to wane. Alcohol still very present! Quite a persistent and definitive finish that’s for sure. In our humble opinion, the ’09 has peaked and is beginning the downward slide to the wine void of nothingness. Drink it soon.

Blackberries and leather on the nose and flavors of wild cherries and leather. Very balanced and smooth. Delicious.

66/20/14 Malbec/Cab/Tempranillo. Nice complex blend with big tannins. Maybe not quite worth the price. Worth revisting.
