First time for me to have this wine and I was surprised at the complexity. Very nice.

¡Felix Navidad! Savory, resolved, earthy. Very ripe Cabernet fruit.

Surprising Mexican wine. Who would have thought about a complex balance, green herbs, a medium mouth feel. I say try it.

Mexican blend from Valle de Guadalupe. Good feel on the pallet with all key components showing: fruit, acidity and tannings. Good treat with pork sausage.

Drinks like a well aged Bordeaux. Let this decant for 1-2 hours and saw this get better with time. Incredibly smooth and medium to medium light tannins. Excellent bottle and would encourage everyone to try some Mexican wines. I

Let this open up for about an hour. Think this may be a bit past it’s prime. Still good but not as complex as earlier. Definite licorice, burnt raspberry and mild earth tones.

Not as overly complex as I expected but incredibly smooth. The tannins were soft and mellow with hints for some dark berries on the nose along with slight leather and dust. Very hard to get MX wine where I’m at so I usually have to grab a couple bottles ever time I travel to Guadalajara.
