2001 fresh with dark fruit and yet slight gamey and earthy. Some spice but overall the fruitiness rules the day. A pleasure to drink. Could be a magnum influence on the aging. Oh so nice to have a big bottle to enjoy.

Out of mag and drinking perfectly right now. Sausage and tertiary notes are everywhere but the fruit is still very present. Perfect with roasted lamb. #biennacido #qupe #syrah #ipob #maturewinerules #biggerisbetter
