Decanted for more than 2 hours. Pleasant aromas of dark fruit and subtle spices on the nose. Light to medium bodied, very smooth and silky, delivering rather subtle dark fruit with notes of pepper and liquorice.Firm acidity and supple tannins.Not very complex but showing a remarkable elegance and balance. Should have some cellaring potential left.

Dark purple. A nice, enjoyable amount of acidity. Balanced pallet, mellowed tannins, and medium finish. Would buy again.

Great wine. Had it with 4 Catena Alta and 7 Angelica Zapata. Catena Alta was slightly better, then the Afincado. Angelica was also very good.
