Dark gnarly fruit. Very rounded and intense. Tight still and super dense. Reminds me of cahors in its blueness.

Big, rich, elegant if a bit over the top next to the Bordeaux.

1998: Given plenty of oxygen, while we passed around the remaining dregs pour. Deep plum aroma. A purity to the fruit, with a velvety mouthfeel, although, then the pithy tannic structure kicks in and reminds one that this wine will require more aging, yet also deliver something even more profound and ethereal. Like having lunch with Barack Obama while still at Harvard, the best is yet to come.

This 1998 Alvario Palacios L' Ermita is still young.spicy, good fruit. This has another 10 years. Thankfully I have more in my cellar.
