  Still a ripper wine.
  Very Cabernet like but more mid palate.
  Big dark fruit and terrific texture.
  Great red meat wine 👍
  Aurelio Montes is a star in my book!

  Now has a lovely savoury balance.
  Great dark fruit, mid weight texture and mildly dry finish.
  Only one left, will drink soon.

  Still drinking beautifully, previous tasting note stands though maybe a bit more minerality than before (or that I noticed before). Not really showing its age at all, this could sit for much longer! Too bad it's my last bottle :-(

  Don't this Carmenere, Petit Verdot blend very often. Not sure why. This is one of only wines that does it consistently well. You are first struck by the deep purple color. Very unique. Lots of big and ripe dark fruit and molasses. Tannins still structured in this 2010 offering. I had Coravined a bottle over past year, and it was still bright, dry and fruity in the last third of the bottle. Wine softened up a bit after 30 minutes, but this is still a well structured wine, but I'd be drinking it now if I was you. Special treat to share with friends. I'd recommend 30 mins to an hour of decant on this vintage.
