You is nominally the second wine from Almaviva - it’s less expensive, made from younger vines on the property 5-20 years old) and picked a bit earlier to preserve acidity. It may be a second wine but it’s delicious - creamy texture with ripe, velvet tannins and enough acidity to balance the lovely fruit- black cherry, cassis, violet (fresh and dried), blackberry, mocha, cedar and tobacco leaf. Long finish and surprisingly accessible at this point in its evolution. I’d order it again in a heartbeat. — 4 months ago

Deep Ruby color with the faintest hint of garnet at the rim, lovely aromas and flashes of a still youthful, developing wine. Plush, velvety tannin balanced with firm acidity gives the wine a good foundation the classy flavors of cassis, blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, violet, Red plum and black plum, mint, vanilla, cedar and smoke. Beginning to show tertiary character with a dried cherry, dried tobacco leaf and dried violet. Elegant and still a decade of life ahead — a year ago
