Goodness I love LRA wines. The nose on these are intoxicating. American oak has calmed down but still full of coconut and dill. Could smell it all day. Incredibly pure on the palate. Blackberries, Mexican vanilla, green pepper. No tannic bite.

2001 vintage first bottle corked second bottle from six pack was the best wine I've had from the bodega. Can't wait for the 2004 release.

90%temp 10%graciano with 4 yrs in American oak. Massively elegant yet broody and intense, smokey red fruit with notes of truffle, caramel, toffee apple covered in balsamic vinegar with a touch of hazelnut (very light). In the mouth this is a gem, a great acidic lift of umami instilled red berry fruit that is still unctuous, mouth watering and infinitely food friendly with a savoury, long finish. Outstanding.
