OMG. Drank with best pork chop and risotto I’ve ever had (thank you Jamey). Unbelievable pairing. Unbelievable wine. Everything you’d pray for on a 15 year old Syrah/Malbec. I think I would score it higher after a few more years of aging. Dark fruit but light and fresh enough for pork.

Very nice red wine from Arietta with a good amount of bottle age. Excellent fruit - definitely identifiable as new world, but quite delicious.

Nice but not sure it's really ready. Tannins are not that well integrated and fruit was a bit muted.
