Visited the Bello tasting room several years ago and purchased this wine as a courtesy purchase as it was the best of what we tasted. The bottle aging helped mellow out the tannins and made consumption more enjoyable than the tasting experience. Drinking at Lake Atitlan Guatemala.

Pretty rockin nose of cinnamon, dirt, bramble, oak and spice. Big fruit and spice on the palate with a pinch of tannin left. Still has a few years left, but thinking this is the apex. First time Bello and its a winner in my view.
