Valdespino night at the compound. Yeah, they make a shit load of it, and it's far from natural, but man... Do you give a shit about whether the Tequila , scotch, or beer you're drinking is " natural?" I like to think of it outside of the realm of wine, as it's really not unlike drinking a brandy or something. It's a grape product. Not much else. And it's good.

This is always favourite for an absolute perfect balance of concentration and complexity. Amazing, but a wine to drink and enjoy.

This was complex on the nose but the palate lacked... I want more from a bottle of this pedigree.
