High acidity and very tight structure; short finish with strong tannins. This could have easily cellared for many more years. Not certain the “reserve” was worth it. I think Normal Oroppas is super for the price, but not this one.

I do enjoy it. Good. Soft. Some structure. At 7 years old it may not be ideal. Will never age it enough so I’ll never know that end. But I do enjoy it at 3-4 years better. Still not sure for the price.

I liked. Rich. Brooding. Dark fruit. Leather. Had the undertones with the fruit. Had with lamb shanks. Good match.

Purchased from online auction website. Caveat Emptor.

Pop and pour at a local restaurant. A rich, full-bodied experience that was soft on the palate and fine tannins on the finish. No wow factor.
