2012 Eisen & Viljoen Normandie
5/13/2024 - red.red.vino wrote: 95 Points
Opened alongside a Vilafonte M 2011
Pop n pour to test the waters. Not decanted and drink immediately over the next hour. A lot of googling, the exact blend not known.
Ruby with a purple hue, which did fade with time open. Blackfruited, blackberries, blackcurrant, black cherries and a bit of liqourice. Prettiness to this, perhaps Petite Verdot and violet and lilac. Very faint vegetal notes, perhaps tomato leaf at best. Great structure and presence, medium + finish. Great fruit and great structure. Super enjoyable.

2011 Vilafonté Series M

Opened alongside a Normandie Eisen & Viljoen 2012.
Pop n pour to test the waters, then put into a smaller decanter for 45 mins prior to drinking due to initial tannin requiring softening. Lush wine, 51% Malbec and 49% merlot. Black cherries, black and red plums, black olive and a little chocolate and vanilla. Super juicy, mouth filling, medium + bodied and super enjoyable, medium + finish. In a good space now.

Aging much better than my previous bottle for whatever reason. ~Still though, not sure I’d be aging this much further.
