Love this so! Rich...pepper...smooth! — 5 years ago
Medium ruby going garnet. Concentrated, slightly angular, chewy, full-bodied, older Tempranillo. Strawberry tart, dried fig and tobacco on a musky loam background with a whisper of smoke on the leathery finish. Very affordable real Ribera del Duero. — 7 years ago

2004 | Cabernet Sauvignon
Miguel Torres, S.A.; Manso de Velasco VV
Curicó Valley, Chile
6H decant.
A truly great South American Cabernet, just give it lots of room to age and decant. No jammy stuff here, elegantly evolved dried red/purple fruits, dried sage and dry earth; plenty of leather and rehydrated cherry with a satisfying, long finish. Disappointingly our final 2004 bottle from a 3-pack buy in Nov. 2007 for $28/ea; value delivered and patience rewarded!
Old school bottle, so thick walled it could go to bat for any inning or bounce off the pavement without concern... — 9 months ago
Another from Conde de Hervías. Very smooth. 8 months in 3 year old barrels. — 7 years ago
