Lots of fruit on the front end, featuring blackberry and cassis, before transitioning to notes of chocolate, black pepper, and leather in a lingering finish. Oak is still readily apparent. Still being fruit forward, this held up will paired with spicy Cuban food. It does seem relatively youthful, and I expect that it has plenty of time left to continue developing those secondary tasting notes that emerge in the mid-palate.

better than my last bottle - dark red - blackberry nose with expresso overtones - big full mouth with high acidity predominating, but many more complex flavors of blackberries, mocha, and expresso - moderate tannins but relatively soft - medium 20 sec finish - impressive showing that bodes well for further future development - will hold my last bottle for another 4-5 years

dark red - blackberry nose with leafy vegetal overtones - full mouth with high acidity predominating, moderate tannins but relatively soft - medium 15 sec finish - reasonably pleasant, but don't see much development potential - should hold at this level for another 8-12 years

Overoaked wannabe Bordeaux that lacks integration. Don't waste your money and go for the regular Enemigo bottling, a much more honest offering.
