There's a richness to this one that's indicative of the vintage, still really solid though, just not one for the long haul, slightly bruised/confiture of mixed berry fruits.

Jul 28th, 2019Popped and poured into two glasses my favorite Zalto and Reidel Sommelier series. Wow wildly different noses! The former super focused that latter very broad and diffuse. On the palate initially earth, black fruit but not noticeably marked as a 2003 vintage. Over time the red fruit emerges as the wine is supremely elegant Alamo’s surprisingly so! Was clearly wine of the night!
