N: Like a walk in the woods. In 10 yrs, oh my. Morello cherries, paste( like cherry paste) tree bark and some tar.
P: Really nice puckering tannins, w a braise, would be great. We did Ligurian walnut sauce. Great depth w/o being heavy, some pepper, deep dark red fruits, woody notes. Delish. — 2 months ago

Fantastic wine with smooth oaky undercurrents. Initial fruit forward with the woody oak middle and jammy finish. More fruit forward than vina tondonia reserve albeit younger. — 10 months ago

Initially pretty closed, cedar and some woody (oak) notes, fruit is mature, tannic structure has receded, medium-long finish, very good if a tad rustic, but lacks the depth of better classified growths. — 2 years ago

Ruby with red fruit aromas and herb floral scents. On the palate flavors of sour cherry & dried berries, cinnamon, licorice, tar and herb notes. Full fine tannins bring fruit to long finish ending with woody earthy mineral character. Wonderful! Great now, will age! — 10 months ago

A lot going on with this bargain! Try on Day 2: ripe blackberry jam, sweet woody spices and black olive on the nose; medium bodied, med+ acidity, bright cherry vanilla and savory/gamey finish. — a year ago
