<p><b>90 points</b> - Dark red with a lick of brick and orange around the meniscus. Complex, savoury bouquet, definitely some sweaty saddle, leather notes, very old world. Tasted from a half bottle, the palate is powerful and ripe, fruits in the blueberry and boysenberry spectrum, some blue plum spirit character. Medium bodied, tannins drying and slightly rustic, needing tonight’s picanha off the parrilla at Estancia Chica to bring them to their knees.</p><p>Tasted on Fri, Jul 25, 2025.</p>

<p><b>93 points</b> - Dark inky purple red. Dusty, earthy aromas, touches of black pepper too. Tense and compact palate that needs time and air. Rich and powerful, lengthy.</p><p>Tasted on Fri, Jul 11, 2025.</p>

<p><b>91 points</b> - Medium red. Pleasant, restrained nose with development. Soft and seamless, simple and lovely. The age has been kind.</p><p>Tasted on Fri, Jun 6, 2025.</p>

<p><b>94 points</b> - Medium dark red. Needs quite some time to open up. Beautiful, complex, spicy aromas, cloves, black pepper, red cherry, leather. The bouquet is stunning. Supple, integrated and smooth. Fruit slightly receding. Some savoury, meat extract flavours. Medium bodied.</p><p>Tasted on Fri, Jul 19, 2024.</p>
