Deep garnet red. Dark red fruits with baking spices and creamy dark cocoa on the nose. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied.

Round, rich full bodied elegance, tannins are fairly well resolved and intergraded for an 09. Dark fruits, expresso coffee grounds, saddlewood, dark chocolate, violets, soft spice, nice use off oak that reveals a cinnamon /vanilla barrel toast good acidity and a long beautiful finish that lasts.

Luis keeps performing. After numerous 2005s we now enjoyed 09. after an oaky opening things cooled down and showed crunchy red fruits, charred wood, small Cocoa hint and good freshness. This is ready now and will last for a decade (?)
