This wine is still drinking nicely (I don't agree with recent notes here -- this bottle purchased upon release and well stored since), with classic quilceda dark fruit, minerality, graphite and earth flavors.

Has mellowed over the years but still comes across as over-oaked and over-extracted. FYI - Stored in a professional storage unit. Based on past tastings at the winery (during pick up parties) this appears to be the winemaker's style. Not looking forward to the last bottle.

Cherry, tobacco, well-integrated but with noticeable tannins; slightly bitter (but warm) finish. Good but better with food to balance out the slight bitterness.

2nd night opened. Autumnal spices, cinnamon predominant. Geomycin light, little barnyard but this work with the cinnamon.
