Valdespino night at the compound. Yeah, they make a shit load of it, and it's far from natural, but man... Do you give a shit about whether the Tequila , scotch, or beer you're drinking is " natural?" I like to think of it outside of the realm of wine, as it's really not unlike drinking a brandy or something. It's a grape product. Not much else. And it's good.

Lovely nose and palate and finish. Lovely Amontillado. Great balance and depth. Long finish. Terrific wine. Easy to drink. Easy to love. Bourbon barrel aroma.

This is always favourite for an absolute perfect balance of concentration and complexity. Amazing, but a wine to drink and enjoy.

This was complex on the nose but the palate lacked... I want more from a bottle of this pedigree.
