Powerful and complex, excellent structure and depth from the aging process as this is the current release. An homage to his mother Carmen, this is the most traditionally made wine by Benjamin in his line up of wines and one of my favorites. This speaks of purity and power, with structure and some elegance as nothing overwhelms but instead is very precise.
