  Consistent with prior notes. Rich, deep, concentrated, complex, balanced, and firing on all cylinders. Red currant, juicy raspberry, leafy tobacco, ripe cherry, powdered cocoa, and red rocky dirt. At ten plus years, drinking at peak, but will soon enter maturity. Enjoyed with a baked, thick cut, queso pork chop and vegetables. Love the wine and the producer. Drink through 2028.

  Agree with WMCCONE54, albeit, a year later. The Standard Bearer. So good to see you again. Second day: such perfume!

  Juicy, and ripe fruit with tar and charcoal background tone. full-bodied medium length and pleasant finish. Enjoyable wine.

  Enjoyed subsequent to the Pulenta XI 2015. Shows a clear, deep ruby color. Expressive aromatic profile with pronounced aromas of red florals, spicy red currant; earthy, fresh tobacco; powered cocoa; sweet red raspberries, sour cherries; and black coffee. Fresh, balanced and lively mouthfeel with structured tannins. Great long finish. Liked this better than the Pulenta given the chewy tannic structure. Drink through 2028

  Still a baby. Tart red cherry and cigar box with high acid. Needs time to mellow.
