My "Best of Show" at James Suckling Great Wines of the Andes tasting in San Francisco. I can see why he gave it 100 points and why there was an enormously long line to taste it.

2014 paired with a CdB from spanish angus.
First time used my new decanter. Fun fun fun. And a great wine too. Big bold! Years to go. I can see the 100JS points.

1+hr decant. Deep, dark purple color. Complex nose of dark fruit and spices. Absolutely massive wine! Requires small pours and sips. Concentrated dark fruit with slight hints of vanilla and tons of spices and herbs on the palate. Complex but varies between a velvet and spicy texture. Decent finish. Definite aging potential. I enjoyed it but the wife was so so.

Bold, beautiful and enjoyable. First wine that I used my new Coravin wine system! Worked perfectly. Very excited! Opened again 7 weeks later and still tasted as if I had just opened it!!
