You is nominally the second wine from Almaviva - it’s less expensive, made from younger vines on the property 5-20 years old) and picked a bit earlier to preserve acidity. It may be a second wine but it’s delicious - creamy texture with ripe, velvet tannins and enough acidity to balance the lovely fruit- black cherry, cassis, violet (fresh and dried), blackberry, mocha, cedar and tobacco leaf. Long finish and surprisingly accessible at this point in its evolution. I’d order it again in a heartbeat.
